Im currently trying to tackle a rather tricky problem in flash and im hoping someone may have an idea how to help.
what im trying to do is pass in some xml that defines some data and display it as an interactive venn diagram.
I, obviously, need to import the xml, in whatever schema then, dynamically create some(at least 3) large circles via actionscript, then allow the users to drag them round the screen.
Once they can do this (here comes the “hard” bit) where the circles intersect, i need to be able to calculate that intersected area and make it clickable, then pass the values of the circles out as xml, and detect which one was clicked.
The bit im having trouble getting my head around is the best way to create the circles and work out the intersected area.
Im sure some of this is easy to achieve and im just being a bit dumb at the mo.
Any ideas, help, tips on how to achieve any of this much appreciated!
