RE: A Panning Shot in Flash?

[Brian Alvey]

	I was using a Flash animation of a panning-like shot in a page for the 

upcoming Tech-Engine site at http://www.tech-engine.com/, but now I'm using 

a GIF while we ready our world beating global detection scripts...


	The original animation is at 

http://www.tech-engine.com/images/candidate.swf and if you browse it 

directly without heights and widths, you see the cropping box I built to 

simulate panning across an image and how it goes to hell without html 

around it as well as the crap the font turns into.


	The canvas size means nothing. You can however stretch and shrink the page 

to get the intended original effect. Unfortunately we don't have the old 

html which housed the Flash online right now...


	In the future, we'll be using Flash for the panning as well as for 

navigation throughout Tech-Engine.


	Good luck with panning and cropping in Flash.
