[worldKit-dev] Zoomify Fix Available, Please Test

[Mikel Maron]

Hello

I've made some substantial changes to how worldKit works with Zoomify, 
and have posted a test release to http://worldkit.org/download/latest/worldkit.swf

v3.1-20070123

If folks who've had issues with Zoomify could test with this new version, 
and report results back to the list (ie, it works/doesn't work, at this url), 
that would be really helpful towards releasing the changes.



If you're interested in the details..

There seemed to be issues with the load timing of zoomifyViewer.swf. worldKit
would sometimes receive a signal that zV had loaded before zoomifyViewer was 
actually initialized and ready to go. I tried many things to try and catch this state,
reload or reset or restart zoomifyViewer .. but nothing seemed to work .. 

So I got rid of dependency on zoomifyViewer.swf. It was relatively straightforward
to account for Zoomify's tiling scheme within worldKit (just a special case of the 
WMS code).

This also meant that a bunch of special case code for Zoomify could be jettisoned,
leaving worldKit a bit leaner and clearer. 


The only visible change is that the Zoomify Nav window is no longer available. 

If there's interest in having that functionality within worldKit (why not) I can 
give some pointers on how to code that.
