Here is just a short post with example, how to integrate the 3D Rotate Tool into Joomla CMS. The example features also the JavaScript version of the 3D Rotate tool. If user visits the site using a mobile device, the 3D product gets displayed:

This example is done in a clean Joomla installation. It is possible that in your Joomla Site the JavaScript used in my example (loading of swfobject.js) might interfere with other JavaScript files your site is already loading. In this case you might need to delete the swfobject.js linkage and adjust the script accordingly (remove the JS version of the tool, or use an other technique to detect Flash plugin rather than swfobject.js , e.g. JQuery).
New features in 3DRT Flexi v. 1.3.2

You can tell the rotateTool.swf movie which product to load using a JavaScript function. In this example you can click on thumb images to load an other 3d product:

Brand new Setup Utility for the 3D Rotate Tool Flexi was released. The new features are (compared to the previous config-utility):
- the utility does not only export the config.xml, but packs the html/images/swf into one output folder
- large input images are rescaled automatically to match the entered movie-size
Download it here: http://www.yofla.com/flash/3d-rotate/flexi/download.php
The Pro users can still download the original zip archive with the .fla files, if they want to create their own theme / skin.

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.
