I was in the process of writing a post when I found that I needed a quick, preferably Flash, embeddable photo-viewing widget. I did a quick search on Google and didn't come up with anything, at least anything I wanted to use. So, I decided to create one...kinda. What you see below is based off of the Fisheye Component written by Ely Greenfield.
The sample that is provided by Ely actually runs on LiveCycle Data Services and also employs some other components in addition to the fisheye itself for things like modifying and editing the component's state. What I've done is simply extracted the fisheye component alone and turned it into a simple custom embeddable widget. For you to use it, all you have to do is download the source...
...drop your photos into a folder named "images" alongside the FisheyeWidget.swf, do some modifications in the init() function based on your photo set, and you're done. It's ready to put on your website!
Enjoy!

*Again, I didn't write the Fisheye. This is an adaptation of the Fisheye Component written by Ely Greenfield.

Thanks for taking this and making a very useful and easy to use widget.
Determined to post this up to try #4 on the captcha. Perhaps you should make that as easy as your widget.
