A web application that was used on several Parsek sites, including the election campaign website of LDS (Liberal Democrats of Slovenia) and the Renault Slovenija website. The application generates clickable points on the map according to dynamically loaded coordinates defined by the Gauss-Krüger system. This way, the points needn’t be positioned manually, but can be loaded from an external XML source, such as a static file or dynamically generated from a database resultset.
I think this was one of the coolest websites we did at Parsek. Nordcross is a production company of Igor Zupe and Sašo Podgoršek who have done a lot of cool stuf for NSK over the years. We tried to get away from the standard website interface and create something more experimental. The result was pretty cool, especially for those times, and it was a big technical achievement, since it was done with the new Flash 5 and featured QuickTime video. Although the two had been used before, the all-flash site with QuickTime seemingly embedded into it was a breakthrough at the time. After some time, when new browsers came out, the “video over flash” didn’t work anymore, so I decided to try to rebuild the site in Flash 6 as an exercise, enabling the viewing of videos again by using the new video feature in Flash. The site was designed by Ozi, the video preview animations were done by Žiga, the desktops were done by both of them, and the background music was provided by 300.000 V.K.
