I outsourced some of my website because my time was really strained and I was absolutely stunned by how well they did. I was expecting something crappy because it was done as a trade off for our company. Can someone tell me how they did the image zoom component of our exhibitor list? Its cool cause it loads lowrez then highrez when you zoom in.
he might just have 2 jpegs
one @ low quality another 1 at high quality and he uses the low quality one to do the zooming and sliding so itz not CPU intensive, but uses the higher rez one when the movement is complete.
It looks like it's done with this commercial component. It basically saves 3 (depending on how deep you want to zoom) different sizes of the same image and cuts those images into small easy to load slices. Once you zoom into an area of the image, Flash determines which images are needed to reconstruct the visible area then loads those images as necessary.
I've seen your site Timmee, you should be able to code something like this without too much trouble. For me, the hardest part would probably be chopping all those images into peices.
Speaking of your site, I noticed that if you go to your "Skills" section and click on "Macromedia Flash" the 2Advanced website pops up. Seems like you might need to disable some hidden buttons or something.
