Brief Summary:
  • vWorker.com reminder: You MAY NOT post the final solution for this (and any) project before your bid is accepted and funds are fully escrowed. Anyone who does may have their account permanently suspended. However, you CAN post:
    • On programming projects: A prototype or functional demo...as long as source code is not provided.
    • On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.
Need a flash menu created from the existing coffeecup swf file and supplied graphics.


Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Project Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Project Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this project?
Requirements: The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Informal documentation - As the employer talks back and forth about the project with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your project on the vWorker.com site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • Other:Adobe Flash Menu
Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller's Seller Legal Agreement.
Other Requirements:
Requiremens:
to produce Flash menu delivering all source files for Adobe Flash CS4.
The attached file as generated by Coffeecup Flash menu builder has the correct buttons, submenus and behaviour that we require, however we would like the submenus to appear vertically under the main menu buttons. The actions for fading/sliding in/out should have a similar speed but the submenus should disappear when there is no mouse over event.

The code should be simple and constructed using Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3.0 or 2.0.

We require all source code and library files as we may want to make changes later.

  • All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
  • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.

  He delivered on time, and did the work as per the spec but was not helpful in determining exactly what was required in the project and threatened arbitration action. He did not communicate clearly enough, and did not ask any questions but relied on his own understanding of a very general specification/requirements brief. He also failed to comment his code functions as to their usage or to provide good explanations on how to make changes.

He could have asked for and we would have given 1)more time and 2) more money if the requirements were outside his original understanding of the project, but he failed to do so and instead insisted he had completed the task - it didnt help us very much or make us feel we were working ont he same side to achieve a task goal so he effectively burned his bridges to any future work with us.

For that reason only we would not work with him on a larger or long-term project. His coding ability is good and he works fast, but would be unsuitable to someone who does not clearly know exactly what they want.
 
Worker Rebuttal: After i placed bid, i told buyer that i will not able to take up project till tomorrow, still Buyer Accepted the bid putting deadline to one day. I completed the project before deadline and has per requirement specifed in bid request. We declined to fullfill additional requirements bucause buyer hasn't adopted fair practice and when they put presure to fullfill additional requirement we told them if they wish they can take bid to arbritation. i dont think that is threatning. if one dont know what they want, how one can provide? Even though we fullfill one additional requirement and did our job in the best way possible and so getting such rating isn't fair. We have rated buyer to 8, but if any coder read this beware that the buyer is not good to work with.
