TODO

This is a list of features or feature requests for consideration in future releases or as integrated plugins.

Note: this list is rarely up to date. See the TODO file in the SVN trunk for up-to-date information.

• search functionality
• move cachingloader to utils and use when loading external elements
• thumbnail overview of pages -- plugin
• index (as in more complex index than possible with nav)
  • and/or (the same?): lookup (word reference in back of book) -- plugin
• youtube video element -- necessary? i.e., maybe possible to just use img + crossdomain xml? -- works using Security.allowDomain, but player gui isn't really "animation friendly"... will try an element that uses the so-called "chromeless player" one day
• some sort of dataprovider class, which per default accesses the file system, but may be extended (or maybe interface, then implemented) to get data from somewhere else
• flex connector (plugin) + wrapper -- once i find the time to play around more with flex...
• sound player element -- add gui to snd element
• menubar: pdf download -- probably plugin
• print functionality -- plugin... some time
  • add print button to menu;
  • has disabled version;
  • enable for pages with according attribute (print="");
  • http://blog.tikikitchen.com/2008/04/18/printing-in-flash-in-1000000000-simple-steps
• alternative video player? (not FLVPlayback)
• allow titles to be images -- probably not, because of memory needed...
• contextmenu with 'show image' for images -- maybe
• rendering glitches when pages get really small (either small page size or when zooming out)
• backdrop for pages at the sides to give more depth -- will probably need some graphics, dynamic generation looks horrible
• add option to keep all elements with an id in memory at all times (for interaction) and also load them all in the beginning -- necessary, i.e. is there anyone who really wants this?
• page tear (remove pages from the book by tearing them out)
• different page sizes (at least for covers) -- this could get ugly, i fear...
• xml parameter: update browser title according to anchor name
• url="action:elementID.functionname(params)" -- would be kewl, but needs a basic parser... maybe as a plugin some time
• make Flash component (SWC?) for use in Flash IDE -- no experience with this whatsoever
