Fwd: [Swftools-common] magazine viewer

[Chris Pugh]

jeff,

Since this post  was directed at several people, I think your
intention was for it to go to the list, not just to myself!  ;o)

I've taken the liberty of forwarding it.

Regards,


Chris.

@David ... I know a little about Flash CS3, but nothing about Flex, so
I think Flexbook is over my head, although there are some other apps
out there that look very similar to Flexbook, and probably are using
the same code. Thanks

@Mark ... I did try google, and that is what evetually lead me
pdf2swf, which does everything I need it to do, except display two
pages side by side, so just wanted to see if there were other viewers
that could be plugged right in and "work out of the box" so to speak
without much modification. My initial search turned up this
www.FlashPageFlip.com , which has a free version, but it was lacking
zoom in/out features although there is a paid version that has those
features. Thanks

@Franck ... FreepapeR looks interesting, but my French is not very
good. Is it free/open-source? I cannot tell if it's an add-on for
pdf2swf or if it is just saying that it actually uses pdf2swf! Any
help in translating would be appreciated! I see 2 versions: "Le plugin
SPIP" and "Le lecteur".. Can you explain what each one is for? Thanks

@Mike ... I am going to download Calibre and see if does what we want.
It looks like a good little program as well! And if you can find that
code, definitely post it! Thanks

Thanks everybody for your posts!
