Lightning Virtual Picture Lens is a picture lens component which «fakes» high quality magnification of images or other very simple movie clips. There are two different images/ movies used as source files and a masked virtual lens will appear if the user moves the mouse pointer over the (source or preview) image to indicate detail magnification. Virtual Picture Lens will always automatically resize to the small (source) dimensions, so usually you provide a lower resolution and a higher resolution picture or movie to make the effect. The component has inbuilt pre-loaders and some features for customizing its appearance (see parameter description).
