Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good free SWF that will allow me to zoom images as part of a catalog of images. I've seen the one from http://www.digitalbrochuredesign.com/image-zoom/ but it doesn't allow me much functionality. The design of it works, but I want it to stretch the smaller image if it's too small for the movie size (before clicking the magnify glass to zoom in) or at least center it Any help for this will be appreciated Jay
Hi Jay, You could try our tool, Magic Magnify, which magnifies images using SWF. You don't need to code any of the Flash, you just need a small image and a larger version of that same image. It uses JavaScript and Flash to do the effect. Try the demo here: http://www.magictoolbox.com/magicmagnify/ Magic Toolbox
With the greatest respect, the original post clearly stated FREE...and that one is not. Thankyou anyway for your input
Hi Jay, Magic Magnify is free for non-commercial websites. To get a free license, click the link on the same link above and complete the form. If your website generates revenue, then you must buy a license. Magic Toolbox
Correct, the effect is quite simple, but take a closer look The Magic Magnify effect is powered by Flash but triggered by JavaScript. No programming in either Flash or JavaScript is required. You just need to link the small image to the big image and add a CSS class. It's as clean as could be (which makes it accessible to people with disabilities and fails gracefully on very old browsers or those without JavaScript). It means you can apply this to a website with thousands of images in just a few minutes.
Yeah, unfortunately I need it for a commercial site. Never mind, I'll use lightbox or thickbox. Thanks anyway
