Question

Flash based cropper like this, but with source or customizable?

Answer 1

A:

Something like this? http://matrixoft.infunity.com/agents/calvin/tmp/forPekka.html

I'm perfectly happy to pay money for a tool as great as that

Since you are willing to pay :D I can tailor make this flash app for you. You can email me unrealize at gmail dot com

To carry out the responsibility of posting the answer for stackoverflow users, here is part of the crop image code:

var tNewImage:BitmapData=new BitmapData(mouseX-vCropX,mouseY-vCropY,true,0);
iImg.getChildAt(0).x = vSize/2 -vCropX;
iImg.getChildAt(0).y =  vSize/2 -vCropY;
tNewImage.draw(iImg);

Where iImg is the movieclip containing the image with the image center positioned at (0,0) , vSize is the image dimension, vCropX and vCropY is the top left cropping coordinate. The tNewImage BitmapData is used for constructing the new Cropped Bitmap image

Cheers for the offer. Well, this already looks nice, but what I need would go a bit beyond that :) I would love to have this programmed from scratch but I think that's beyond my budget no matter how fast, or cheap, a Flash developer is.

Pekka 2010-01-03 12:42:25

A bit beyond that.. do you mean upload to server? I can add that code too. Or do you want more?

Unreality 2010-01-04 02:50:06

hey hey I wanna get the bounty :D Is it just the upload function? I can add the upload function + php code and send the source code to you. Will that be good enough to be the accepted answer? If yes I will spend some time to work on it...

Unreality 2010-01-06 08:48:38

Hey! :p where are you?

Unreality 2010-01-08 01:00:30

Sorry Unreality, I didn't see your comments. What I need is: 1. User picks file 2. Cropping but it would have to look and behave like the jquery cropper (google) 3. Zooming the image to a specified size *with the crop area visible* 4. Rotating (optional) 5. Transmission of image, crop, zoom and rotation data to server side script. BUT. While I appreciate your offer, there would be a *lot* that would have to work well and tested. It's definitely more work than this bounty is worth, and I will probably end up finding one of the commercial solutions presented here suitable for my needs.

Pekka 2010-01-08 10:47:43

If you really want to put something together, and if it survives my tests and requirements, and you'd publish as Open Source here, within the next days, I'll be happy to accept your solution. But I wouldn't want anybody to invest days' worth of work in this, and then not get the bounty because it didn't work for me (If I find a solution here that works for me out of the box I have to pick that, even if it took the person three minutes to Google). If it's the reputation you're after, you're better off answering other questions. But if it's for the sake of building it - you're welcome, go ahead.

+5 A:

http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop.html i love this one, every easy to use and tons of features. i know your searching a flash cropper but this question is tagged with js too so....

antpaw 2010-01-03 22:04:58

Cheers antpaw, JCrop is great and I may end up with using it if my attempts with the flash based solutions don't work out. For the purposes of this question, though, I'm going to go with Gabriel McAdams's open source recommendation and try to customize them to my needs.

Tom 2010-01-08 01:14:48

I also like that guy's old one. It's simple...no upload bar but still nice. http://www.adylevy.com/index.php/2009/06/07/client-side-image-resize-flash-cs4-filereferencedata/

Tom 2010-01-08 01:15:53

They both look nice but none of them does user-controlled cropping, which I need in my case.

Answer 4

A:

I've used RadActive's I-Load component before, with great success. The UI customisation options are a little limited, but as far as functionality goes, I'm pretty sure it meets all your requirements.

EDIT: You don't specify what server-side technology you're using (if any). I'm pretty sure I-Load is designed for ASP.NET - this may or may not be an issue for you.

kristian 2010-01-08 01:50:03

Cheers kristian: This looks great, but my server side language of choice is indeed PHP. Setting up an environment that can handle ASP .NET is too much trouble. Sorry I didn't mention that from the start.

Answer 5

+3 A:

I found these three image utilities during my search:

The first one is an open source flex component using an MIT license. The second one is a how to,with full source available. It doesn't have a sizable box, but it seems ok otherwise. The last one is also a how to article from adobe.com with source available.

Gabriel McAdams 2010-01-08 17:57:28

Cheers Gabrial, I think I will try delving into Actionscript a bit, and your open source links help me with that.

Here is a list of good javascript based croppers:

Here is a list of action script based croppers:

Gregory Pakosz 2010-01-09 10:55:47

Thanks Gregory. Your list is great, and as I said to @antpaw above I may end up with one of the JS based ones, but I am going to go and try with the Flash based solutions first, and Gabriel pointed out some "how-to"s that serve me best for the time being.

Pekka 2010-01-10 11:06:17

sure, have fun :)

This is also a nice once and its only $10.

Answer 8

A:

I would take a look at the free pixlr editor and their developers API : http://pixlr.com/wiki/developer

Gaby 2010-01-10 02:38:40

I am very wary depending on external services for an essential function. Otherwise, they would be very interesting.

Pekka 2010-01-10 11:07:58

i can understand that ... but it was worth the try ... i've known their system for a long time and thought they could come in handy :)good luck

Answer 9

A:

http://www.shift8creative.com/projects/agile-uploader/index.html

Still doesn't have image rotation/cropping. I most definitely do plan to add that, but after checking out all the things I could find I still wasn't happy. I researched out all the particulars and just ended up building my own. You're welcome to use it if you like and haven't found something else by now. Keep checking the link, I'll update it to include the rotation and crop feature along with multiple image uploads.
