Picture Scroller

Flash gives you the ability to shrink or enlarge images to whatever size you need. If you have a picture of a large area, you may not want to shrink it all to fit on the screen at once because it becomes difficult for the viewer to see all the detail. From a training perspective, you may want to teach people to look in various directions, rather than merely seeing things all in front of them at once.

The Picture Scroller component lets you decide how much of the visual to show in one screen-full, and provides an easy way for viewers to pan across the whole picture to simulate looking left, right, up, or down (depending on how much of the image is not visible at once).

To make creating scrolling pictures as easy as possible, we have provided a template you can use to base your visual on. Once you gain comfort with the Flash authoring environment, you can configure the scroller in different ways, such as scroll rate, border sensitivity, initial view position, and several others.
