[worldKit-dev] ActionScript in a SWF layer?

[Mikel Maron]

Nick, I think this requires a bit of coding, since even without a GeoRSS feed specified, a layer is created to hold those annotations. worldKit needs to be fixed to not create that layer, if it's not necessary. I've quite busy now, so please remind me to revisit this issue soon.

Hi Mikel,
  
 I turned off the GeoRSS, but still no luck.  I also disabled the zoomselect and did some other things to simplify the configuration file (See Below), but still no luck.  It may have something to do with how I have my swf layer set up.  Do you know of any similar swf layers that have been used with worldKit and have worked.  It would be nice to get this to work, but it is not mission critical.  So no sweat if you don't have any more quick ideas about what the hang up could be.

I think what's happening is that the layer containing GeoRSS annotations, though invisible, is covering your swf layer and blocking any tool tip actions. 
One option would be to turn off the GeoRSS layer completely, if there is no feed .. is that a possibility for you? 

When I looked directly at the underlying swf, the tool tips were very small, only readable on magnification. Just a observation. 

There is a limited amount of styling supported in worldKit. GeoRSS lines can be set to a thickness and color. More styling, as you are using, may be possible in Flash 9 Player, haven't checked.

 Hi Mikel
  
 My setup is posted at:
  
 http://www.geology.ucdavis.edu/~raterman/worldkit/index.html   The swf layer that is draped over the Zoomify image has tool tips that appear when you move the mouse over the lines.  I know they work when the swf file is played outside of worldKit.  
  
 Unfortunately, coding the lines as lines in GeoRSS won't work for me.  The problem with all of these formats (GML, KML, GeoRSS) is that they lack the ability to attribute or stylize lines ala SVG.  This is absolutely critical for geologic maps where the attributing conveys important info about the 3D geometry of what is shown on the 2D map.  It would be really cool if the GeoRSS format could be manipulated to allow for this type of attributing though.

Do you have this posted online .. I think this should work, and viewing it directly will help us diagnose the problem quickly.  

Alternately, you could simply encode the fault as a line .. http://worldkit.org/doc/polygon.php  . Then it would work similarly to a point annotation.

 Hi All,
  
 I am working on a map of active fault traces in the western Tibetan plateau, and I have created a SWF layer of the mapping to overlay over a landsat image in worldkit.  The SWF layer contains action script that makes tooltips when the user moves the mouse over the fault mapping in the SWF layer, however, these tooltips don't appear when it is loaded into worldkit.  Any thoughts on why this will not work?  Any suggestions on how to implement similar functionality, possibly with out Action script?  Thanks in advance for any help!  
  
 Nick
