Hello and thanx for reading.

I´m currently in a project where i intend to achieve the same results as this page you all might be familiar by now: http://brook-pifer.com/

Since i´m a pseudo-newbie, i cannot work it out.

You guys|gals know if there´s a tutorial or component with this or similar results? Fullscreen image (loaded via xml i presume) and with the elements (menu, etc) auto adjusting to the screen size as you scale it?.

Any advice or tip will help a lot.
Thanx!

well, you would just make a normal site out, and then set the size to be 100% x 100%.

thats what i did to the site im working on,

Thanx for the tip. I was aware of that way of making things work. But like it happens on the site you´re working on, images take forever to download. If you import them via xml it´s more dynamic and loads content on demmand....but i can´t figure out how to program that like in brook-pifer.com

Thanx again mate.

well the way i set mine up is to load all at the beginning, where as theirs is set to load each invidivually when its brought to screen. i guess its just preference :)

if your wanting to use xml to load them and dont know where to start, check out this tutorial (http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/571/1/How-to-Load-Data-and-Use-it-From-XML/Page1.html)

Excelent way to get started...i actually learned how to import via XML. Thanx!

Now i just need the AS code so the image scales up or down to fit the screen resolution, and how to set a preloader (not for slideshows or galeries...just simple xml one image preloader.
Gonna browse the forums | tutorials...any shortcut is welcome.
Thanx again!
