alternative to multi touch - zoom and rotate control on single touch

[shpe11]

image zoom-rotate control on nokia 5800 (or any single touch); real alternative to multi touch hope to implement by mobile manufactures, because is realy simple...; gesture in single touch is not enough used... personaly I'll use some kind of this zoom in a mobile browser

I'll work on perfecting the controll

simple and natural. double tap with drag... and control zoom and rotate with sigle touch

demo and SWF file here: http://concepts.shpe.ro/ZoomRotate.php

can also be used as a fake multi touch... double tap with one finger(and hold), and the put the second finger and drag only the second finger...

waiting for feedback

the question is: can 5800 do that with Flash Video playing?
I now wonder how will works with a jpg image, instead of vector movieclip(as it is now).

but really, I was aiming here for the ergonomics, not for gizmos... who would wanna do that to a video???

I'll do some improvements, as you could probably notice there is no zoom out, and the second zoom reset the size/rotation, and the zoom point is always in the centre of the photo, and not where double tapping was made...

Hi,

cool demo application. I was wondering how far along you are with loading photos from the phone. We are currently also working on a game in which we use pictures from the phone, but we keep having problems with loading photos. When we select a photo from the list it works, and we can do what we want with the photo, but when we go back and try to load another photo the application keeps crashing with error code 9.

I was wondering if you experience the same kind of problems.

I just finished the control part...
hope to go smooth in loading photos... I'll user flash lite extensions (API's)...
my application should not use user input in selecting photos...

****! got the same problem... try to load 3 jpg, and second and third throw that error... we have a problem...

tried to load one after another (I guess flash don't like to load multiple simultaneous) - but same err

and what that mean? err 9?

on what device do you test? flash lite 3? 2?
