View Flickr Images Fullscreen

Snowdon panorama

After uploading a few panoramic photos to Flickr, I found that I really wasn’t too fond of the small image it displays. Asking a user to click all sizes > original just doesn’t cut it for me either.
I found myself thinking “Wouldn’t it be good if i could just click on a link to a fullscreen, panning image?” Well, what with Flickr’s API, and Flash’s StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN, I did just that..

This is only something i knocked up in the last couple of hours, so don’t be too harsh, it’s just alpha :D

Here’s a link directly to my app

Here’s a bookmarklet: View Fullscreen (add this to your favourites or drag and drop to your toolbar)

Here’s a link to an image of mine on Flickr

Of course, adding that bookmarklet to your toolbar means you can view anyone’s (public) image fullscreen. Just browse to their image and hit the bookmarklet :)

    Paul - doh. don’t know if i can do anything about that. i might be able to get round it sneakily.. but i don’t think users would want that. Maybe an error message..

    John - now thats a damn good idea.. when BSR is over i’ll look into it :)
