Reading Tiff files in Adobe Flex based Application

Question

Hello all,

can some one help me in reading TIFF files at runtime in Flex/AS3 based applications?

Thanks for your time guys.

Answer 1

You'll need a TIFF reader written in ActionScript, it's not built into the framework or player. Google Code Search offers a few options:

This one looks most promising:

Here is a tiff - baseline decoder I wrote back in july. It will read all "baseline" formats, 1, 8, 24 bpp. It will handle Intel/Motorolla byte order as well as interlace or planar pixel order. However, it does not support compression yet.

But feel free to append !

I have started working on LZW and ZIP and can offer you the source code of implementation.

Sincerely,
