They only want to demonstrate the "range" of the aircraft. They want the Flash placed on this page:
http://www.canjet.ca/en_fleet.aspx <http://www.canjet.ca/en_fleet.aspx>
To be honest, my impression is that they want Flash because it would make the page feel "cool". Although I agree that Flash is great when it's used in the right context...I'm not convinced that this is the right place for it. They originally provided me with this example - http://www.uyjaviation.com/learjet.htm <http://www.uyjaviation.com/learjet.htm> - as a base idea. Obviously, I'm not going to "steal" this idea - but they wanted me to design something similar. I don't see the benefit to providing anything similar to that example...it doesn't really "do" anything.
The range of the aircraft is listed at 2640 miles & that's the only "fact" they want conceptually demonstrated. Canjet used to be a commercial airline; but now they are only offering airplane charter services. The types of businesses that will be engaging their services are private companies & partners such as 'Sunquest' and 'Transat Holidays'. The CanJet website isn't for the general consumer anymore (although it was up until a few months ago).
I'm stumped. I've thought of using a map of North America as a background with a "radar" technique repeating itself over and over on the map...just for effect. Any ideas/techniques would be gratefully appreciated. I've been thinking about this off and on for about a month.
Thanks, Pam
