hello,
i’m excited to find your flash based image viewer with zoom. however, i’m having trouble embedding it on my page though i’m able to use it in a new page just fine. it seems the orbitzoom.html doesn’t have an example of the embedded viewer.
thanks,
jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
Put the code from the orbitzoom.html on your page (between the start and stop OrbitZoom code. Then you need to put the orbitzoom.js page and the orbitzoom.swf in the same directory as your page.
Let me know if this helps…

Hey guys,
Sorry I can’t show you our implementation (its a closed system) but it has worked great. We had a 2000 x 300 panoramic we needed to display with template that only allowed 400 pixels.
Orbitzoom worked a treat!
Thanks.
