u2 slideshow
similar to some of the stuff im working on/towards is this little flash piece.
its a set of stills, but let the pics load and then give the flash piece focus and hold the space bar, itll do a neat little slideshow kind of thing that ive been working on implementing in javascript.
cough.
ive been _trying_ to implement in javascript.
right now, the page is a bit of a mess, its in progress. but im taking the 640 pics from ea (which ill post in a better format/way soon), splitting them into chapters based on content/color/location. finding a ratio to apply across each chapter and then spitting out the right number, separated by that ratio.
when you mouse over, the image at the top swaps. hopefully by thurs, when you mouse over, it starts a slideshow, switching that picture with another in the equence (the full 640 image sequence, not just the 60 or so displayed on the page).
sadly, setTimeout is a fickle fickle beast and doesnt seem to work like it should. so im still wrestling.
once i get it working right, ill post and would love to hear your thoughts on the experience.
whew.
