Flash BibleWheel 1.0 is Done!

[Richard Amiel McGough]

Hey folks,

I just published my basic Flash Bible Wheel. You can view it here:

http://www.biblewheel.com/wheel/biblewheel.html

This is just the prototype that shows how you can navigate the Bible Wheel. The colors can be changed to anything we want (suggestions are most welcome!). The Book and Spoke info that appears in the center is just the basic "filler" right now. It will be undated after I finish designing the Wheel program.

The next step is to plug it into the Bible Database so you can search for words and have the results displayed on the Wheel.

Well done!

One thing I couldn't figure out is how to draw the lines in the circle symmetrically.

One thing I couldn't figure out is how to draw the lines in the circle symmetrically.
I drew it all with Actioncript 3.0. I used the moveTo and lineTo methods of the graphics class in a loop like this:



//Draw Spokes
graphics.lineStyle(2,lineColor,1);
graphics.beginFill(cycleColor[i],1);
for (i=0;i<11;i++) {
startX = centerX - radii[0]*Math.cos(radians(i*spokeAng+90));
startY = centerY + radii[0]*Math.sin(radians(i*spokeAng+90));
stopX = centerX - radii[0]*Math.cos(radians((i+11)*spokeAng+90));
stopY = centerY + radii[0]*Math.sin(radians((i+11)*spokeAng+90));
graphics.moveTo(startX,startY);
graphics.lineTo(stopX,stopY);
};



I didn't actuall draw a single line manually.

So far it looks great.

Great job! :thumb: :clap2:

There are many good effects that can be added! Right now I just would like to say that the commentary text in the center of the Wheel often does not fit in the space. Maybe it was intentional, since it is a test, but at this point just some letters/books can be read in its entirety.

Thank you Richard!

Hey Victor,

Thanks for your feedback, its very helpful. As mentioned, the text in the center is just protyped - what I actually plan on putting there will not be a generalized overview of the book so much as how the book fits with the Spoke (since that's what the Flash Bible Wheel is for - to help folks understand the BW.)

But as for text not fitting - I'm not aware of that happening. Could you tell me one or two of the books in which the text does not fit? I need to know if it looks different on you computer.

Thanks again bro,

Richard

ETA - I just noticed that the text associated with Daniel doesn't quite fit. There may be one or two others like that. I just typed in some text real quick for the prototype. I actually plan on having a nice expanding box that is not constrained to the central circle so it can hold more info.

Back to the top... :D

This is soo cool! When will it be operational? I can certainly make use of it for studying Bible lessons. :)
