flash zoom feature
i have, for some reason, entirely forgotten to post this. an oft-requested feature in many of the retail sites i work on, the flash zoom feature uses flashvars to send asp.net image variables into flash to implement the zoom. this feature has become the most requested item for all retail sites we produce from here on out.
{used: flash actionscript 3.0}

about
i am a designer/developer living in seattle, wa.
i work best in team environments, but enjoy working solo as well.
i code in html, css, action-script 3.0 and i dabble in some javascript and some asp.net. i am also trying quite hard to understand silverlight.
i am extremely proficient using the entire line of adobe software (including video and audio editing suites) and microsoft software, fairly proficient in maya, and able to adapt to just about anything else out there.
thoughts
this section will be used for some basic idea chatter and some light tutorial work. i will try to explain how i created some of the sites and effects from my portfolio in this area. stay tuned.
