Marvel Comics — Super Hero Squad
Marvel Comics · Interactive Developer · 2009
The Situation
Marvel needed the Flash components for their new Super Hero Squad cartoon website to be flexible and reusable, with the ability to dynamically load and position characters, objects, and animations.
Why It Mattered
The site needed to support interchangeable x, y, and z positions for characters and objects, swappable animations, and fully dynamic content — all configurable without code changes.
The Approach
Built the site with OOP ActionScript 3 and XML, making it fully dynamic and customizable from a configuration file. Characters, objects, and animations could be loaded dynamically with interchangeable positions and properties, all controlled from the XML.
The Result
Delivered a fully dynamic, reusable Flash website for Marvel's Super Hero Squad that allowed the team to swap characters, objects, animations, and layouts entirely through XML configuration.
Along with the new cartoon, Marvel needed the Flash for the site developed to be flexible and reusable. The goal was to ensure that the Flash was able to load data dynamically and allow for interchanging x, y, and z positions along with swapping characters, objects, and animation from within the XML.
Making this site fully dynamic and customizable from an XML file. The primary technologies used were Flash with XML and OOP ActionScript 3.
