Image uploader + crop

Question

I'm running a web application built on Seam. I would like to have an image upload + crop component.Preferably on client side, so the image uploaded to the server would be the result of the crop. I read this can be made with Flash 10. I was thinking flex is also a possibility. Does anyone has good hints to give me, what component to choose or what is the best way to connect the backing bean I have with the flash/flex? Thank you!

A search for Flash uploaders shows many:

From the StackOverflow thread here:

• Flex Component
• Building an image-viewing widget with ActionScript 3.0
• Another
• DeepLiquid
• MediaBlur

From the StackOverflow thread here

• ResizeBeforeUpload
• AdLevy

From Google:

• element-it
• Sephiroth

Check those SO threads.

If you were not bound by Flash, I would recommend using Javascript instead.

In Mootools:

• Crop with the images with CwCrop
• Upload with fancyupload.
