[Geoserver-users] flash client recommendations

I used Adobe Flash CS3 too

In the flamingo directory and the fmc subdirectory you have several .as
and .fla files. These are the sources of the swf files.
You can add a file there and compile it and use it in the config.xml as
<fmc:YourFile>

If I remember correctly the OGCWMSLayer.fla is a good place to start.
It's combined with tha OGCConnection.as and together makes the
OGWMSLayer.swf
If you want to create a layer of your own this is the place to be.

Some advice on your requirements:

Changing the colors of your geometries can be done easily by defining
several sld styles in geoserver and putting them in your wms request
like this: layers=myLayer&styles=red or layers=myLayer&styles=green and
having the red.sld and green.sld in the styles directory of your data
dir and mapped in the catalog.xml.

This way you only have to bother about defining your layer.
And I still think you can add your different geometries in a spatial db
and service them through geoserver and filter them with cql

Hi Kris,

Thanks for your reply.

I have downloaded the flamingo-mc files and the index.html (demo) runs
fine.

I have no idea how to recompile this flamingo.swf or any other swf after
I change some code.

I am using FlashDevelop but installed Adobe Flash CS3 Pro for this
application.

I will need to create the postgis layer on the fly based on user request
as the geometry and colours of objects etc will change depending on what
the user selects.
Can you please point me in the right direction for me to start creating
another layer into this flamingo-mc.

thanks

James

Hi James,

I've used Flamingo-mc a lot a year ago and was amazed by the smooth

user

experience.
I even extended the code to have a more google like experience and

some

performance enhancements and a lot of client wishes added.
I even integrated flamingo into geoserver to use it for the mappreview
:wink:

I have started working with flex some time ago and want to make a flex
viewer but haven't found the time yet.
Until that I think Flamingo-mc is a good choice.

I suggest you let Geoserver create the layer out of your postgis
database by providing flamingo with a filter (cql is the easiest I
think).
This way you don't have to code your postgis connection in flash (at
least that is what I read in your background piece)

I think I remember a bug in flamingo when using filters but I'm not

sure

about that.

If you want to know more feel free to send me a mail

Cheers Kris

Hi GeoServer Community,

Some years have passed now since the last post on this topic.

Has anyone tried OpenLaszlo?

I am looking for a Flash WMS Client and considering Flamingo-mc and
BeedlBlad but there must be others.

Is it so that a flash wms client is so easy to implement that

developers

are
quietly making their own?

Suggestions welcome.

Background on my specific project:
I want to take 1 pyramid (raster) layer from Geoserver and build my

own

transparent layer in flash with objects stored in postgis based on

user

selection.

Thanks

James
