The goal of the application is to create a book player that will allow people with little or no Flash scripting skills to easily create children’s storybooks for an online audience.
What makes this player stand apart from a regular book or other online books is its versatility. The IST book player allows a person to easily script text, images with animations and audio in their books to create a unique interactive experience that will help them engage a young audience.

The instructions for the player are received from an accompanying XML file which I have designed to be as simple as possible, human-readable yet still remain robust and versatile. Flash is not needed to create or edit a book’s XML file.

This project is currently under development. Please not that the content inside does not reflect how the final version will look, however the code (because that’s what i do) is top notch ;) 

Uses: Actionscript, Flash, XML
