Timelines in Flash (2)

Two weeks ago, I discussed the use of animated timelines on Standaard Online. Today, Reinout Bossuyt of Standaard Oline told me that more than a year ago already, Standaard Online made use of timelines in Flash. Only negative point is that this testcase-timeline was hidden behind a link or pop-up. Standaard Online realised quickly that such graphical infoelements should be implemented in the regular pages. Ironically, the timeline also covered the story about missing children (Stacy and Nathalie). Reinout noted that it seems like GVA.be was inspired by the use of Flash timelines and started using one few days ago. Again, great example of multimedia journalism! I hope this won't be a one-day trick.

If anyone knows other examples of animated timelines (in flash) used in Flemish news media, please let me know!

Ook op MO.be publiceren we met tijdlijnen, we gebruiken dezelfde tool als gva/hbvl: http://www.circavie.com/timelines/48f525cf-018c-54dc-aa73-b5614d5fbf53
