The original 3D Rotate tool has powerfull skinning abilities, but the downside is that the published swf is not flexible in size. If you set different size in the html you either scale the whole content and ui, or the content is cropped/surrounded by background color – based on the scale parameter.
With 3D Rotate Flexi you can set it’s width and height directly in the html document. The controls will align nicely. The downside is that some features of the 3D Rotate tool, such as the hotspots, are not supported (yet).
Also the 3D Rotate Flexi has only a limited set of icons, currently the leftArrow/rightArrow and playPause button are available. The end user can only hide or show them, it is not possible to use other buttons (such as zoom in, out, or the scroll slider) or reposition the buttons. However it is possible for me to update the 3D rotate flexible source codes to display the icons you desire, and customize the tool for you. Zooming is also supported, only the hotspots are not.
Version 1.1.0 of the tool was released. There are some new features:
- smoother zooming and panning
- if mouse is clicked down and not moved for 0.5 second, than the mouse movement zooms in/out
- new external (JavaScript) API function setNewImage
- new API function setZoom
- new API function setZoomStep
- new API function setImage
