Using Javascript to talk into a ‘smart client’ such as Flash Player is always enticing and always a challenge. This is not an issue specific to Zoomify. The many browsers and browser versions support different communication means (both inward and outward) and each means presents different level of control and reliability. Two starting points for exploring the possibilities include the FSCommand support of Flash Player 7 and earlier and the ExternalInterface class introduced in Flash Player 8 (the former being relevant to Zoomifyer for Flash v3 and earlier, the latter to later Zoomify product versions).
