Can the OpenZoom SDK Be Used With Flash?
Can this be used within Flash at all? Or is it Flex only?
If so, do you have any code examples of how to get started with it?

I've just added a fresh example for using the MultiScaleImage component from the OpenZoom SDK with Flash CS4, including some of the slightly more advanced concepts you can take advantage of such as transformers, controllers as well as constraints. Additionally I showcase how to program buttons to control the zooming of the image.

Let me know if this works for you!

Inappropriate?Tyler,
It depends on what you mean by Flash. If you want to use the OpenZoom SDK without the Flex framework, then absolutely yes. If you mean with the Flash Authoring Tool and .fla files, then that's also possible, however I don't have any examples for that case yet.
For both cases, at this point I suggest you to check out all the code from the OpenZoom repository, as the codebase is very much in flux:

What exactly do you need to get started? Maybe I can help.
Regards,
Daniel

Inappropriate?Thanks for the quick response!
I should have been more clear, my apologies.
We have a map (a custom image, really) and it needs to be interactive. Basically, its a real estate map where each lot can be rolled over and clicked on. However, since it's a large area we were going to try to use a zoom tool so that we can keep the map looking sharp all the time (as opposed to just haveing one giant image in flash being scaled).
While I use Flex Builder on a mac to write Actionscript, I've never used the Flex Framwork or have written any mxml code. I've always worked with .fla's. And since the project has a tight timeline I probably won't try learning it at the moment :-)
I'll grab the code from SVN and give it a look. I was just having trouble figuring out how to get started with it.

Hi, I was curious how far you've got until now.. I'm trying to do kinda the same thing here. But I've just started to try it out. I'm having some trouble using the example's from the repository in flash.. -
Willem, I've just added a Flash CS4 example to the repository. Read more at http://getsatisfaction.com/openzoom/t...

thanx, i will check it out!

Inappropriate?Tyler,
Don't apologize, really. To some extent it's Adobe's fault for the nomenclature mess within the Flash Platform, though they seem trying to fix it soon.
If you're already familiar with Flex Builder, it's perfect. I also use Flex Builder for development. Therefore, almost everything in the OpenZoom repository can be imported as Eclipse project. Just set up the OPENZOOM linked resource (just google for eclipse linked resources) to point to the root of your OpenZoom working copy and you're set.
As for interactive maps in OpenZoom, be sure to check out the newest example, called Interactive Renderers:

This should get you started!
Let me know what you come up with!

Great stuff, Daniel!!
With maps we often have to place polygons and polylines that were rendered from CAD. For example, I have exported some sanitation and storm drain locations for a neighborhood to illustrator (from cad), which can then be directly imported into flash. So what I would looove to be able to do is take the map image, break it up with the free zoomify, and have the several polygon layers that I have be included in zoom and pan functions. I am going to provide the user with options to switch polygon layers on and off. You're help would be greatly appreciated!! -
Zavior,
Thanks. In order to allow other people find the answer to your question, may I ask you to post this as a separate topic.

Inappropriate?HI, Can someone please tell me how to save current stage (zoom,x,y) so I can create variables to save and get to this stage later on, I am tracing all coordinates (toString) in NormalizedViewPort.as, but when i am trying to use it, not sure which method i have to use. I tried ZoomTo method(this one is little off).
Anyone Please
