Bill, Jacque, er al:
I have been able to achieve acceptable performance by changing the
Art Card design so the thumbnails are truly thumbnail imageData that
hide/show the full-resolution images and the Photo Index Card design
from buttons to thumbnail images. I also set alwaysBuffer to false
for all images...and masked the "jerky" display by adding a visual
effect to card-to-card navigation. All images still reside in the
[88 MB] stack file, but the only time an image is resized is when the
viewer does it via a "Zoom Bar."
One mystery arose during the redesign: Under what conditions will
Rev change the loc of an image when its height and/or width is changed?
This code worked in the old design:
set the height of image targetImage to x
set the width of image targetImage to trunc(x*1.5)
with expansion/contraction from the original loc of targetImage.
Now I have to script:
put the loc of image targetImage into imageLoc
set the height of image targetImage to x
set the width of image targetImage to trunc(x*1.5)
set the loc of image targetImage to imageLoc
or the image moves to a new loc.
What could cause this...on WinXP & MacOSX?
