Tim,

MultiScaleImage which inherits from MultiScaleImageBase exposes a public property called loader. The loader is a NetworkQueue and dispatches Event.INIT and Event.COMPLETE events which you can use to display a spinner like I did in OpenZoom Nano or something else depending on your application.

Let me know whether this was helpful.

Cheers,
Daniel

Glenn,

Congratulations! I just had a quick look and it looks fantastic. You might have guessed by now but the reason why it's such a good time for having Deep Zoom Tools for all different languages/platforms is our release of Pivot. Check out the developer section or watch the video


You will find out what an important part the Deep Zoom file format plays.

Once again, thanks for contributing.

Yours,
Daniel

Josh,

Great question! There are way too few people interested in this. I admit, it's been a while since I tinkered around in my own code but to get LOD objects running in OpenZoom do the following: Implement org.openzoom.flash.renderers.IRenderer or even better just extend the (very lightweight) org.openzoom.flash.renderers.Renderer class and implement your LOD logic using the Viewport.TRANSFORM_UPDATE event on viewport which you can hook up inside your custom renderer. Then place your renderer on a MultiScaleContainer and watch the magic.

Two pointers:

I gotta run off now but if you have any further questions, I'd love to help out!

Looking forward to see what you come up with.

Cheers,
Daniel

John,

I don't know of an automatic way to get Office documents into the Deep Zoom Image file format. Apparently, the commercial Zoomery solution will let you do exactly what you're looking for.
However Additionally, we now have an excellent developer section at http://www.seadragon.com/developer which explains the different file formats and tools on how to convert. In terms of browsing your converted documents, I highly recommend you to have a look at Pivot, our newest experiment from Live Labs.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Cheers,
Daniel

clint9090,

Puh, that was loooong dump. Apparently you're using an older version of the Flex SDK. The current OpenZoom SDK, 0.4.2.1, requires Flex SDK 3.2:

Tim,

Beautiful portfolio – well done.
I guess I must have missed your workaround, where did you post it?

Tim,

Glad you've decided to play around with OpenZoom. If you simply want to have a fullscreen image you probably don't need the FillConstraint. Simply use a MultiScaleImage component and make it the size of your application.
If you'd tell me whether you're using Flash or Flex I could provide you with more specific pointers to example code. Generally, I highly recommend you to play around with the examples that come with the OpenZoom SDK download:

Robert,

With the limited information given, it's hard to diagnose the root cause of the issue you describe. My first guess though is some interference with the Flash Player security sandbox. Have you tried adding the -use-network=false compiler option? Also, try to upload your files to a server and see if it works there -- it should. If all of that doesn't help, simply fire up the debugger and step through your code while it fails to load the XML in the browser.

Where can I find your improvements to the OpenZoom SDK?

Cheers,
Daniel

Rajasekaran,

Glad you got the buttons to work. The viewport positioning all happens through the IViewport interface, e.g.


var image:MultiScaleImage
var viewport:IViewport = image.viewport


In your case, if you want to center the top left in the viewport, use IViewport.panCenterTo() with values 0, 0.

Cheers,
Daniel
