After my last post about image resize using flash I did some research and found this:
Flash based cropping tool released (LGPL)
I tried to get it to work and saving the crop server side.
I manage to get to work pretty easy on my local server but after uploading it the php was giving me trouble.
So I stripped it down and now its working great: flash resize and crop
If you want the source: download
I found a very cool script using JavaScript that does almost the same as this one: Prototype JavaScript Image Cropper UI
About flash client side resize, no luck.
I found several Java ones and also I know that is possible to do it in flash but the methods I found were to explode the image pixel by pixel and then pass it like that into php. From what I could understand quality problems and flash player frozes on large images were the problems using that option.
Anyway. I think this was a great step foward.
Thank you again! excellent work many thanks!!
I will keep reading your blog
you are a genius!!!
this is great Hugo!! Does anyone know if there any way to set the height and width of the crop box?
also is it possible to rotate the background image using a slider?
