Interactive mindmap
by Ruben
As promotional material for today's view day at my course I made an interactive mindmap which was beamed onto one of the walls of the classroom of the 'Next Web' minor.
I got some really positive responses so I decided to post it here, click the screenshot below to check it out (navigate by clicking an element). Also feel free to check out the source-code.
Credits also go to Mark Shepherd, I used his very very awesome and super-easy to use SpringGraph component. I also used Maikel Sibbald his Sticky ToolTip for the description of every element, so thanks man.
On top of that I used the Flex component kit for Flash as to be able to create the visual effects of elements in Flash.

Did you make build path for flashcomponents.swc as well ?
Are you planning to work on the ‘TODO: phased expansion’? That will be much appreciated. Thanks!
hey Sam, no I’m afraid this was a project for school about 4 years ago, I have no plans to continue work on the mindmap code. feel free to have a go at it yourself though
Hey Ruben!, A question about the colors. I noticed if there are more than 5 nodes the sixth node is color less. I believe it is controlled by
public function setColor in NodeRendereBase.as. I changed this.nodeRenderer.setColor(color+1); to this.nodeRenderer.setColor(color-2);
The number needs to be increased if there are more nodes.
Is there something i can do better to control the colors? Thanks
