Found Freebie: Flash Image Zoomer

Flash Image Zoomer is a nice free application that allows you to zoom an image and navigate it via its embed navigation window. The setup is as easy as 1-2-3 because the image is defined as an external parameter, making it easy to install the zoomer in the CMS or eCommerce Application of your choice. And for those using the most widespread and great CMS/Blog platform, aka Wordpress (Yes I am a WP Fan :)) it is just easy to do it through the WP-SWFObject Plugin and then using a simple tag markup you can call the aplication and indicate the location of the image.

Flash Image Zoomer

The application is skinnable, which allows you to change the interface appearance. It has three skins: the Simple Blue (default), Black Diamond (pretty similar to the blue one but in another color palette) and the White Noise - by far my favorite, because the interface seems to be sleeker and the actions button’s distribution seems to be more balanced thought the working area.

One disadvantage I found was in the compatibility department. I tested it on FF2, IE6 and IE7. It worked just fine with IE6 and IE7 - nice since both are still used by most people, but in FF2.0 (at least in my pc) it didn’t seem to work. Apart from that, this image zoomer offers an excellent choice for flash image zoomer and cms integration and it won’t cost you a peeny.

    It’s a nice find but it can be easily done in flash if you have a little actionscript knowledge !

    Thanks for this great looking piece of software. Will have to have a look at it in more detail and try it out, when I’ve got some spare time. Might use it on my website and see what people think of it. thanks again.

    Thanks, I’ve been looking around for one of these. It’s so much easier to just grab one already written than to do it yourself … why re-invent the wheel?
