The New York Times piece is excellent journalism, but is also interesting technically. It was published in full screen flash mode. My first reaction upon opening it was “wow!”, how did they deliver it so big and still maintain acceptable quality? Part of the answer is that they did NOT deliver it so big, it just resized itself to open to fill all the available space in my browser since the Flash object was set at 100% x 100% size. So I am curious to know what the original size of the Flash object was, and what was the quality level at which it was published. (I tried to answer this question myself by looking inside the source code of the html page, but could not find the Flash object …I think maybe it was being called up by java code, but I don’t know enough java code to understand what was going on).
It was also interesting that the sound began before all the photos had loaded, but they still seemed to remain synchronized with the audio track during the slideshow. How was this done?
Anyone have simple explanations? Especially knowing the answer to the question about the size of the original Flash object could be useful in determining whether the same technique could apply to our own projects.
Also, any general discussion of size for Flash video would be appreciated. I often see sites with Flash video in large format that plays well on my home computer (which has a fast connection, but not a super fast one), and I always wonder, “How do they do that?”.
