Issue with grey images preview

[Gilad]

Hi,

I brought Object2R and could pretty much get things going very easily. There is one issue I can't seem to get working which is the grey images preview. I set the Download/Preview to Grey scale, Q:25, I:4 which is actually the default and use the below code in my HTML:

Code: Select all

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
            data="/images/ROD/Lightmeter/400/Lightmeter_Q80_H400.swf"
            type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="358" height="400">
            <param name="movie" value ="/images/ROD/Lightmeter/400/Lightmeter_Q80_H400.swf" />
	    <param name="play" value="true"/>
	    <param name="cache" value="true"/>
</object>	

I do not use p2q_embed_object.js but from what I've seen there is nothing there related to the preview. Except of that everything seems to work fine, I just have to wait until all 5MB of swf is downloaded before I can see or do anything. I just see a white placeholder *without* a "Loading..." and after the SWF is done loading I see the images and skin. This is the first time I embed Flash in a site so if this is something elementary plz don't flame

I'm using IE8 and Flash 10.1
My site (well, test site) is hosted on NetFirms and I don't have any special .htaccess configuration.

Please advice,

Thanks,

Gilad.

Hi
Object2VR has a bug where the preview track does not show.
Thos will be fixed in the next release, Issue #37

Thanks for your swift answer.
Is this bug related only to build 7 (works using build 6) or should I wait for the next build?

[Hopki]

Hi
I can not remember, but I seem to remember that v6 worked, this was just as v7 bug.

Can you say when is the next version coming out? Build 7 is already more than half a year old.

Just checked build 6, doesn't work either.

Is it possible to supply older builds or can I use Pano2QTVR to generate a SWF file? The preview feature is most important for me, without it, I can't use Object2VR.

Hi
I just tested beta 6 which can be downloaded from the website. This works fine with winds and Mac.
What is it you are doing and want to see?

Hi Hopky

I'm trying to get the grey preview while downloading to work.
At the moment I'm only able to compile an SWF file that shows the rotating object only after it was completely downloaded, see my first post on the subject in this thread.
Am I missing something in the HTML?

Hi
I understand what you want: please see: http://support.ggno.me/object/
This is a robot that has a grey scale preview track while loading.

This is what I have just made from beta 6, beta 7 has the issue with preview.

I also output an html page from Object2VR, but the preview track is in the SWF so should not matter.
Please can you tell me if you see it with the above link?

As this can also be an issue with your hosting, I have attached the same files that are used by the link, upload them and see if you see the preview track, if not than you have a problem with the host.

Kind regards
Hopki

Hi Hopki

Thanks for your help, I was able to compile my project and see it with grey images preview using beta 6.

I probably did a mistake when compiling the swf file using the previous version.
