Hi all. I need some direction on the best way to execute an interactive graphic without using flash. The graphic I want to create is for the homepage on a retail website. Currently there is a 400x600 static image on the homepage. Some time ago I created a flash based graphic that transitioned between 4 images. There were also 4 little buttons in the bottom right that the user could interact with to manually override the graphic. I decided that the flash based graphic was too much of a PITA to keep up to date. Since then I have reverted back to a static image, but it feels empty without the dynamic image. There must be a way to achieve this same result using something like CSS. If someone has done something similar I would love it if you could link me or point me in the right direction. Note: Size is a concern as this is the home page.
as far as I know, css does not do animation. most people nowadays use javascript and jquery for animation as the alternative of flash. too bad that I do not have extensive knowledge of that though.
