Anyone here pull off something like that in Rev?
I haven't, but I don't think it would be hard. It's just a
high-resolution image that is continually scaled. I'd put a scrollbar
under the image, scripted to reset the scale of the image object, and
that should do it. If you want smooth scaling, you'd need to continually
rescale in a loop, in very small increments, until the target scale is
reached.
I'm attracted to the idea that it could be easy, but I think in practice
it may be quite harder than it looks.
For starters, it loads really fast so it's gotta be vector objects
rather than a large scaled bitmap image.
And given its size when you're zoomed in all the way, it would almost
certainly exceed Rev's 4095-pixel limit on image size (do I have that
limit correct?).
I think it would require some nifty scaling algorithms, and with Flash
doing this almost automatically and with us needing to do this in
script, I'm having a hard time figuring out how one could do that as
gracefully.
