Great product !
Extreme talent
I’m lovin it !
Hello sir
I need to use this application as a projector exe application.can I do it?plus do you provide me the source code so I can customize it??
Thank you
hi, You can expot exe files from this flip book + you have the source code
Hi,
this is my question: is possible upload also swf file (not only jpg) like pages in this flip book?
Thank you.
Does the pages have to be all uniform in size? I guess i can fake a shorter page width inside by making part of it tranparent but the page peel effect would start from the fixed page size.
Is there support or someway to modify page widths internally to support non-uniform sized pages.
I am converting a PDF that has chapter pages shorter, so that you can see the chapter stub to the right.
Thanks
I would like to know if it’s possible to add dynamic and interactive content to the pages. If not, I’d like to know how to extend the capabilities of the component to do so.
Thanks
Great product!
There are a bug on Zoom in the first page and in the final page.
If you want to integrate the flashvars on code fot multilanguage, this is the code:
private var _myPdf:PDF;
private var _arrows:Boolean = true;
// ADDED CODE
private var fileXML:String;
//FINAL ADDED
public function MainAS()
{
super();
// call constructor of super class
// ADDED CODE
fileXML = root.loaderInfo.parameters.fileXML;
if(!fileXML){
fileXML = “setup.xml”
}
// FINAL CODE
this.addEventListener(Event.AD… continue
Ciao
Fabio Yes of course it is possible.
Alen If you dig through the code you can change that ;)
Gil You can add the interactive content
Paolo What kind of bug are you talking about?
Hi,
just found your flip book today on ActiveDen.
The feature with books is really interesting, unfortunately, i don’t understand, how the books can get recognised.
Does that mean, each book has its own xml, which has to be “registered” in another global xml?
And what is the limit of the books? 5? 10? 200?
Greetings
Alex
There is no limit for the number of flip books, all of the data for each flip books are placed in a single XML file inside the tag, very easy ;)
HI Kuba Gaj
I just Purchased the XML Flip Book and it’s awesomw man. but, how can i reverse the book to open as hebrew & Arabic style.
thanks in advance
Hi, I really like the XML Flip Book that you posted on active den. I would like to buy a copy of the script but first need to make sure that it will also work with the landscape format of my document. I’ve already created the document in indesign in landscape and noticed that your demo only shows portrait formatting. Will it sill work for me if I buy it to use on a landscape document? I am very new to web design and am just learning how to add this kind of functionality in dreamweaver. Please email me back at the address above.
Yes it should work for your landscape photos but if not you can post one photo on two pages that way you get a landscape view ;)
Just bought XML Flip book to try. I have tried loads of others and none come close so far. One question, can I add a ‘flip’ sound to the pages as they turn? Keep up the good work!
hi, i love your product!! very innovative! i have a few questions before i purchase this for our company. We have HIGH security measures and have to stop people from “stealing” the info we would provide in your program. Can your product meet the following needs, or can i alter its code to do the following:
- provide a login screen before opening.
- not allow user to download in pdf form?
- convert to adobe AIR app so i can encrypt data and make sure the user doesn’t copy/paste info?
Thanks! this is a great product wether i can use it or not.
Hi Gena, The poin 1 & 3 will require custom coding (for further info please drop me an email) the download able pdf can be turned off ;)
