Modifier Methods

Zoomify modifier methods allow direct control of the ZoomifyViewer including specifying the image to display, setting the view (x, y, and zoom), dynamically repositioning the view, and much more. Modifier methods are compatible with standard movieclip properties wherever possible when applied to the ZoomifyViewer component _x, _y, and _visibilty, and in some cases extend the functionality of such properties to accomodate the special requirements and capabilities of zoomable, pannable image content such as the provision of the status methods getViewWidth and getViewHeight along with the modifier method setSize to accomodate limitations of the _width and _height properties. Modifier methods are most useful when applied in conjunction with status methods to monitor and change the state and behavior of the ZoomifyViewer.
