Huge images - how do they do that?

programming flash
1

I’m making a fullscreen flash portfolio. The thing is: I want to load my images in the full width of the screen, kinda like www.sksantos.com does. How do they do that? With the ability to resize your window - and the images following and so on. The text does not seem to resize either.

Please forgive my terrible english. I’ll be grateful for any answer.

peace. fro

I have been reading up on the tutorials - and comed up with the attached .fla (check published version at www.doyoudeer.com/prosjekter/02).

I have decided to try duplicating www.sksantos.com’s way of loading images - in order to learn how it’s done. However: at this point I am stuck. How do I load an image into the same width as the cone? Can anybody help me?

I’m getting somewhere now! Check the attachments, or go to: www.doyoudeer.com/prosjekter/02/test.swf

The movie now resizes both the cone and the image (which is preloaded) properly. However - I don’t understand how to make it load multiple images. Could anybody point me to a easily understood tutorial, or maybe help me out?

Thanks in advance (:mario: this seems to be a very personal thread)

love. fro

HTe way you have it, the image swill not show up proportional. You have to decide (as in the sksantos example) what your max width/height will be and scale the images according to that.

Hi Scotty and thanks for the reply! My image height is set to 1/3 of the image width - as far as I understand this will allways make it proportional. Anyway: I’m still trying to figure out how I hook this code up to some xml and make a full gallery.

The reason why my image is streched is because I’m thinking of adding all images in the same width/height-ratio. :drool:

Ok, then it will be proportional.
Have a search here on the forums and you’ll find many xml galleries;)
