Hi Ray, Thanks for your feedback - no offence taken, it's part of the process.
>1. The preloader animation is a little rough. > >2. There's also a possible bug with the preloader when loading another >image. The preloader indicates a complete load (full polygon) but the >text says 1/2/3, and the indcator is updated some time later. - Agreed the preloader sucks, this will be looked at. > >3. When I try to load an already loaded image, the preloader and the >image shows at the same time. - What do you mean you found a bug...:) > >4. Usage of ARP for image loading is a little contrived.

I don't see the point. - Yes it is a bit contrived, but there are a few shops that do the zoom thing - it's a bit gimmicky, but some people like to see stitching and very big brand logos. One has to start somewhere with ARP, so this seemed like a nice place for me. The business logic and remoting side has not been challenged, but ARP's built in event broadcasting and handling for forms enabled me to build a very loosely coupled set of classes and learn as I went along. I would use it again just for that rather than writing my own untested events handling classes. > >5. Too much text.

I guess it's hard when you have to take a knock, but I need to learn and I am prepared to do so. User centred development - some of you are my guinea pigs...
