I’m going to be setting up a website for an artist friend, and he specifically wants to put up a comicbook-style series of images. I’d like to implement this using standard cbz/cbr format files (which are essentially zip/rar archives of sequentially named images), but I was wondering if anyone knows of an existing component to do this sort of thing. A quick GIS turned up nothing.
If I do have to implement it from scratch, then I figure I can pull the cbz file from the server and use some kind of zip implementation to get images one at a time. To display them, I can scale them horizontally to fit the width of the swf. From there, just allow the user to scroll along the height of the image. Embed some navigation buttons along the bottom (first, previous, next, last) and that should do it. Does that seem like a sound interface?
