Flash Page Flip: ASP, XML, and Free options

Pageflip.hu – Static (free), Dynamic for 45 euros

And the also aptly-named Page-Flip.com – for the low-low price of $25.

I tried the totally free version from the first link, and aside from a link to their site, it totally works. I’m fine with even leaving it in there. Neat!

Gotta get em all – view at Wikimedia.

Modified it for my use…

/**************************************
/ Function: checkEmail
/ Args: email – email as string
/ Description:
/ Check whether an email is valid
/ Returns: true or false
**************************************/

function checkEmail(email) {
var regex = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
if (regex.test(email)) return true;
else return false;
}

Here are some solutions I’ve found:

Via Flash – I think I’m going to use this for now because it’s out.

Moo Uploader – This one looks very cool, and uses the also cool MooTools javascript library… buuuut it’s not out yet. I suppose I could steal the source code, as some people have mentioned in the forum where I found this link, but I don’t have that kind of time, and the previous flash method looks very neat.

LightLoader – This is what I tried to use last night, but it doesn’t give enough feedback I think. I want something that can fire an event when it’s done, and there are like 10-15 files that make up this uploader. Again, I’ll see what the Flash version offers and write a followup post outlining what I’ve accomplished.
