This Flash project was created as a virtual bar for a forum’s alternate reality game. The players were given clues to solve some puzzles or asked to answer questions about the different areas of the flash scenes. Click on any image below for a larger view.

This project uses a variety of Flash options, including Action Script 3, animations, movie clips, Flash objects, form fields, clock counter with system tray call, and URL links.

1. Clicking the arrows above the pages flips the pages with a sound resembling juke pages flipping.
2. Clicking the Pi Symbol shown beside some of the songs opens a new window with that song playing on Youtube. (*Due to limited server bandwidth and space, instead of using a loader class and xml to load songs directly from the client’s server, we opted to link a few of the Juke Box songs directly to Youtube videos of the song choices. For this reason, some of the songs may not be available.)
3. Hovering over the top left corner reveals a miniature juke box that when clicked returns you to the first Juke Box Scene.

Latin Phrase Revealed:
