Not sure if this is a bug, or what, but here's the deal...

I have flash auto play set to ping-pong, speed 0.60 Speed is good, but the auto play starts before the image is finished loading.
So to fix that issue, I have a controller skin where I have an action set to toggle auto rotate after it's finished loading, I then set the auto rotate to Off. That takes care of the rotation starting before it's fully loaded, but now when the auto rotate starts the speed is WAY to fast, (even tho before 0.60 was good). I tried several slower settings but the speed setting in the auto play window has no effect when the auto play mode is set to off, and using the action to start auto rotate.
Also, because I have to set the mode to OFF (and use the action to toggle it on), I can't choose to use the ping-pong mode, it just defaults to rotate.
Is this a bug / limitation in the software programing or is there a fix.

Thomas, if it's glitch in software, could you include a fix in the new version of Object2VR.

Thomas,
as no one else has responded to this question, would you check it out and please reply. I need to know if I'm just doing something wrong and how do I fix the problem. Or is this a software problem that needs attention in the next beta version.

Thanks Thomas

Hi Jeffn

As a thought why not do it the other way around, setup your autorotation parameters and set an "Inti" toggle autorotation and then a loaded toggle autorotation.

So Init stops it and loaded starts it when loaded.

If you don’t setup the parameters first and just start auto rotate it will use default settings, which as you have seen is not what you want.
I can not test this for the moment but I can not see why this would not work.

Hi
Having had time to look at this I can confirm that if you set up your “Auto Play” parameters, say, “Pin Pong” “Speed 0.30” as an example, then add an “Init” “Stop Auto Rotate” to one of the elements in the skinl, this will do as you want.

I have a load bar so I added the above to that.

If you want the Pin Pong to start after load then just add “Loaded” “Start Auto Rotate” again in the load bar.

Load Bar Actions:
Loaded – Hide Element – Self
Init – Stop Auto Rotate
Loaded – Start Auto Rotate (option to start after load)

Cheers
