RE: [flexcoders] Yahoo/Google Maps - Navigator Component
Greetings! Thank you for the reply. If I am properly interpreting your image, I think your example demonstrates what I am trying to do. If you have an online example, or source code outlining this functionality, I'd be very grateful to take a peek at it.

Within this rectangular box Component, you can drag around a small rectangle which represents the present viewing area below. As the Zoom Level changes, the draggable rectangle dimensions change accordingly. For you Photoshop users, it's the Navigator Component - which lets you drag around the rectangular box within, and quickly Pan the image around in order to quickly access an area you'd like to work on (rather than having to use the scroll-bars). I believe Yahoo/Google Maps has this feature as well. Does anybody have a place for me to start, in order to learn more about how to do this, etc? Thank you all in advance for any information on this, Mike
RE: [flexcoders] Yahoo/Google Maps - Navigator Component
Thank you sir! Right off the bat, I figured it would have to do with Image Cropping, so I feel good knowing my thought process was on the right track :) I will let you know how things work for me. Many Thanks!!!

I'm sorry about my codes in there since this was only my quick experiment with it. Hope this helps. :) On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 11:02 AM, Romeo Obane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Kindly see the attached sample application, the main concept of it actually is about Image Cropping, but I believe is could somehow give you some good ideas.

Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo/Google Maps - Navigator Component
You're welcome. I'm glad that it helps, I'm also interested with the mapping idea that you have there.
