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.

Hey Rob, no this does not support freemind.
Hey Ruben,
Very cool mind map. What am I doing wrong? After downloading the source you’ve posted, importing as a new Flex project and trying to Run, I receive this error in the NodeRendererShell.as on line 10:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant NodeRenderer.
Hi Ruben,
Still banging my head on this error. Any ideas as to why I’m getting this compilation error?
Thanks,
Lee
Hi Ruben,
I love mindmapping. I ran your interactive mind from your site then I ran it after compiling the source code both local and off of a remote server. The full screen button works perfect from your site in IE7 and FireFox for me but on the compiled version I got this error below. Is there something different between the source code provided and the program on your site regarding this?
Appreciate you help on this! Thanks!
Arnold
SecurityError: Error #2152: Full screen mode is not allowed.
at flash.display::Stage/set displayState()
at main/fullscreen()
at main/__fullscreenButton_click()
@Lee: In the root of the project-source there’s an SWC-file, right-click the mindmap-project in Flex Builder and select Properties, then go to the the Flex Build Path menu and select the Library Path, hit the Add SWC button and fill in the path to the SWC in the appeared prompt. That should do it..
@Arnold: The reason you’re getting the error is because you should set the allowFullScreen parameter of the embedded SWF to true from within your HTML (it’s a security-thing).
Check out the HTML source-code for the online demo (index.html) to see how I did it.
