Corporate-Jargon Generator for Flash Lite 2.1

[themirthfulswami]

Hi all!

About a year ago I'd created this Flash application at the request of a few colleagues around the office. Couple weeks back I stumbled across the source files on my home PC and thought it'd be a funny idea to tweak it into a Pocket PC friendly app that anyone could use on-the-go to create some funny office-speak.

The current version supports two "modes". One to create random or custom-crafted phrases, the other to randomly generate full sentences of corporate jargon with a rolling history that you can peruse. The phrase mode allows you to randomly swap out verbs, adjectives and nouns independently.. or to specify a custom noun of your choice.

The app uses an XML file as a word database, so you can easily add or change the pre-supplied words and phrases!

I do plan to add a few more features to it in the near future, as well as make the interface slightly more finger-friendly. It works pretty well now but the performance could use some tweaking (animations get a little choppy at times).

So, hopefully some of you can have some fun with this. Its been a riot around my office so far and a few of the guys have put it on their phones to fool around with in meetings

Install is easy, open the zip file, copy folder to device, run SWF file. Flash Lite 2.1 is the only requirement. It should support all standard resolution configurations (elements should reposition themselves based on screen size/orientation) as well as both touch and non-touch screen devices.

If anyone has any issues running it, please let me know and I will try to fix it

Oh yeah, you can run this in a regular Flash player on your desktop as well in case anyone wants to fire it up there instead.

Please do share! I will update the included default file with whatever else you guys come up with. I have a few slated for addition now based on some conversations I had at work recently

"living document" is definitely going in ASAP LOL
