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. =========================================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Sherk Forerunner Ministries <[email protected]> Date: 3 July 2010 23:45 Subject: Re: [Swftools-common] magazine viewer To: [email protected] @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!
