RE: FLASH: Dynamic Magnification demo

[Branden Hall]

I think theres code for this up at FlashKit, though its not my code, so I

don't know how clean/efficient it is...


I'll look into OSing this thing...

These two are beautiful. I've only just now seen them as I cleaned out my

mail. I can see applications for this right away, esp. in tourist kiosks.

Any chance either of has disclosed the source code, or a tutorial, to the

Flash community?

First of all you are seeing two SWFs, the actual magnified image is a whole

separate SWF, I can swap that out whenever...

Secondly, the scroll bar on the right is the zoom controller...  :-)


There are actually two controller MCs working at all times, the one in the

slider that controls the scaling of the magified ( and masked ) copy and

another controller that dynamically moves the magnified copy around based on

the position of the mouse and the current scale of the copy (it looks at the

copies scale to determine this)

As for making it smoother... I fiddled with the code before I put it up,

trying to find any real places to optimize and could not find any... moving

around large, complex, and dynamically scaled vector images eats up

processor power...

(Oh, and in case you didn't notice, you can throw the glass as well)

Hi, Branden.

I did a similar one last month, but seems like there ought to be a way to

make the movement smoother.  Plus, I have some problems with re-positioning

the underlying zoomable copy of the object when the user changes the zoom

level.  See what I mean at  http://members.home.com/cherica/Magnify.swf

Seems like it works ok the first time, but then if you move the glass off to

the side & reduce the zoom effect, when you go back over the object it is

offset.  Do you have the "zoom controller" (mine is on the handle of the

mag. glass) do any adjustment of the position?  Or is it all in the drag

action?
