We finally put up our new site today after about a month of development, writting, and extensive testing. Kyle DeTella handled the programming lead on this one, building the site around a framework called “amino” that was built in-house and been used in our production work for about a year and half.

One of the biggest struggles for this site was the choice to use a non UI scroll bar. We set out to make something work as close to the UI scrollbar as possible which involved employing some rather unorthodox techniques like javascript injection, to be able to track the mouse outside of the flash movie more accurate.

Our Amino framework will eventually be released as an open-source project as soon as we can package it all up and document it clearly for others to understand. More on Amino to come in the following couple months.
