Anything else? The worldKit is a unique and remarkable flash app, with many possible configurations. <br>
<br>
Does it scale? This depends upon the application and configuration of
course. IMHO, extremely large scale worldKit deployment is possible
with dynamic generation of its files: the HTML page with embedded
worldKit, XML configuration file, GeoRSS feeds, JPEG images from Web
Map Services (WMS) like ArcIMS with Tomcat or the MapServer project
from U of MN, supported by a backend database-based application
development platform (like Ruby on Rails). The degree of scale possible
is only limited by the ability to implement and deploy all these parts.
The key is how worldKit uses geographic coordinates, and the ability to
geo-reference the images that it displays.<br>
<br>
Input mode control: Try a combination of <inputonly>,
<locupdate>, and/or the <annotateurl> set to a JavaScript
function in the configuration. Have the JavaScript call another
function if you want to save the input. Another simple idea would have
two separate (but almost duplicate) HTML pages with two different
configutation files, one with <inputonly> True, the other False.
A button on both pages would switch between the two versions of the
same page. <br>

...would you recommend sth. else? Have you tried similar things? How does<br>worldkit scale?<br><br>And more detailed:<br>Is it possible to switch to input-mode without pressing 'i' (e.g. by<br>clicking a javascript-link)?
