flash

i will be using Habitat 67 as a template for the windows of the houses which will all be clickable but only when they are lit up.

I would like the windows to have some sort of timeline which is based on the hours of a day each windows will at some point be lit up and clickable whereas others will not be available. each will have its own timeline (if its possible)meaning it is only clickble for example from 6 till 11 pm whereas another may be clickable all day but not at night.
also when clicked a new window will appear with a photo of the window accompanied by a spoken character sketch. im thinking of maybe having a story revolving around 'characters' ive created using the windows as the initial building block. the items visible through the windows will cast them as a certain character in a drama where we never see the characters, only the windows of their homes.

Thanks for the details, Lindsay. I'm not sure about the "clock" function of having certain windows operate at certain times of day, however I will ask Craig about this.

Habitat is a fantastic piece of work re: windows. Good choice for a paradigm.

When Craig comes in we can focus on the clock programming. Most of my comments are attached to your earlier post, and also sent by e-mail. Good luck with your writing!
