The imageviewer works with the url of a photo. He sends this url of the photo to a component “ImageHolder.mxml” (happens in function “getHolder”. This component shows the photo with the nice white border. I draw this component in a BitmapData in the function called “onImageLoaderComplete”. In that function I set the material of the plane to the BitmapData. You could also give it there an embedded image as material. Ofcourse you should the event function to a normal function.

There are 2 points why I wouldn’t recommend you to use embedded images in my component:
1) Your application gets very big
2) While I was building my application I didn’t care a much about loading images nice after eachother. So if you load embedded images without controlling this progress all the images load at the same time and also the preformance could be very low (the same thing happens if you have the images in your cache)

I’ve been busy with a version the imageviewer in Air and I wrote there a nicer way to load images. This will solve problem 2. But I got bored and stopped working on it.

I hope this is usefull for you and feel free to ask if something isn’t clear. But keep in mind that this was one of my first flex programming experience this can mean that not everything is done in the most clear way ;)

Hi there, I’m trying to use your ImageViewer3D component and display an internal list of Bitmaps. These are embedded images or something that I generate manually as a list of Bitmap classes.

I then set photoArray equal to the array of Bitmap types, and have modified ImageViewer3D where it expects this to be a string and changed it to Bitmap.

This approach doesn’t work. Is there a way that I can display an object of type “Bitmap”??

Help is appreciated.

Regards,
Andrew

Ziet er goed uit Arno! Je zou nog iets kunnen verzinnen in de interface waardoor het duidelijk wordt hoe je weer terug gaat naar het overzicht na het inzoomen op een foto, dat je op de foto zelf klikt is niet duidelijk (en niet logisch).

Ken je de firefox plugin piclens? Misschien dat je daar nog wat inspiratie uit kunt halen, die is erg gaaf :)

Je zou evt nog iets met een zoekveld kunnen doen, zodat de gebruiker zelf via de api van Flickr kan zoeken en de resultaten op deze manier krijgt te zien.

Oh, en misschien een loading bar ofzo voor elke foto.. de eerste keer duurt het lang voordat ie de foto’s laad en ik vroeg me af waarom ik naar de witte vlakjes zat te kijken :P

Keep up the good work, ben benieuwd naar wat je allemaal gaat maken op je stage!
