Display Photographs in a Flex 2.1 Application

BrendanCunningham — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 10:51:30 GMT

Hi,
I am looking for the best practice for displaying photographs in a Flex 2.1 application. I am looking at the possibility of using KML or GeoRSS, but cannot find any working examples. There are some older Flex 1.3 widgets, but would prefer a clean installation.

I tried the GeoRSS widget, and used the CDATA option, but I am guessing Flex/Flash doesn't like this coding.

Any examples would be great.

Thanks,

Brendan

Check out the GeoRSS sample, they use the GeoRSS feed from Flickr to display an image in the infowindow:

You basically just need to bind the source of an image component to the image source returned from the feed.

Thanks Justin - that seems exactly like what i need.
Although it is well over my head to integrate that code into a widget!
i was hoping there was a widget example of this.
Thanks for the response though,
Brendan
