Cline Davis & Mann brought me on as a Flash Developer to help with a variety of projects. The primary project was Exploria, a proprietary system used by Pfizer reps when making sales calls on physicians. Hitherto Exploria was a mishmash of C++ and Java components, with a lot of Flash in the front end. Now the whole thing is being rewritten as pure Flash in ActionScript 3.
It sounds a lot drearier than it is. There are lots of fascinating animation bits to build.
Alas and alack, the project was rushed into development without sufficient planning and resource. In six weeks there I have to be given any sort of orientation to the overall scheme of the project. While the project managers bounce around anxiously, demanding that everything be finished ten minutes ago, they seem unable to come up with anything as basic as a schedule, a flowchart, or even simple documentation explaining what they are trying to do.
When the opportunity arose recently to take a hiatus, I grabbed it. I'm hoping that when I return in a few weeks I won't have to touch anything to do with Exploria.
