Sofake revisited

Hey guys… this is a call to all the “friends of ED” out there with Jedi like coding abilities.

I’ve been working for days trying to figure this out… so here is the problem:

After reading the oh so fantastic book “Flash MX most wanted effects” by Friends of ED, I have been hooked on deciphering the effect explained in the section regarding www.sofake.com Great effect and the basics are there, but it’s NOTHING like what sofake.com actually looks like… you see the issue is this… the “zooming” engine works fine when used backwards… lemme explain… if I go from section 6 back to section 1, it will smoothly zoom back through all the sections between 1 and 6… however, if I do foward, say from section 1 to 6, it will skip all the sections in between and zoom directly on section 6. Now I would really get this to work.

So for those not familliar with the nuts and bolts of the effect itself, head over to friends of ED website and download Jordan Stone’s example:

So here ya go… if anybody can come up with something this weould be so cool !! I would also like to implement a " _alpha " scaling so that the panels behind the one on top shows as a ghostly figure…easier to blend the whole thing I think !

Thanks !!
