[worldKit-dev] A few development suggestions

[Mikel Maron]

I think these are both good suggestions. The first would be quite straightforward to implement, the second not that much more invovled.

I'll add to the feature request list. If anyone has time to implement these, I can provide guidance.

Cheers.
Mikel

Subject: [worldKit-dev] A few development suggestions

Hi all,

I'm trying to use Worldkit as part of a vehicle tracking application,
and I already have the geographical data in the page, packed as JSON,
since I use AJAX calls to retrieve it asynchronously. But in order to
pass this data to Worldkit I must:

1. make the initial annotation load by using <dataurl> and a
dynamically generated RSS (and retrieving again data I already have
available). I only I could define a JS callback for the onload flash
event (since I couldn't find a decent way to be notified that the
flash movie finished loading - I tried using JRSSComm right after the
flash definition and I get "SetVariable is not a function").

2. convert the JSON data to RSS, while I believe that interpreting the
JSON would not be very difficult as ActionScript is also an ECMAScript
language, similar to JavaScript. So, if un-serializing JSON it's just
a plain eval, I would really appreciate a new method of passing
annotations.

Just my 2c.
Andrei
