a different approach to using a controller

Hey there:
See the below link for a couple FLAs and example Flash pano.
I bugged Thomas relentlessly for some access to the callouts for Pan/Tilt, etc., and he relented finally (probably just to shut me up
)...
This approach uses an empty "shell" movie, into which you load a controller and panorama, as separate files.
The shell movie only handles the loading & dimensions of the presentation. The panorama movie is what you export from Pano2QTVR, without a controller. The controller movie uses the callouts to handle pan/tilt/zoom/autorotation.
Personally, I find this a bit more flexible -- but it does have an added layer of complexity. At any rate, enjoy!

(note -- this is using "loadmovienum()" because of some internal flash incompatibilities with using the more flexible "loadmovie()")

The .fla seems to be not compatible with Flash MX
But thank you for your thoughts

Hey Dave:
Well, I'll see if I can export a downgrade to create you one for download.
Meantime, you might think about upgrading to the latest tool.

Ahh good thought. Adobe wants $300 to upgrade just to the Flash Basic version of 8. The pro version is more.
Think I will try to get more milage out of MX

Yeah, they're not cheap! The software arsenal I have to keep will one day bankrupt me...
(C1 Pro, Aperture, Photoshop, Illustrator, Stitcher, Flash, etc etc -- and now, Windows & Parallels so I can run P2Q!)

To create for
Pano2QTVR 'controllerbar' or put branding... Flash8 don't need...Possible use easy and quality tools
I have tested for
360Texas - SWISHmax2006... all work fine
Trial version works completely.
SWISHmax 2006
Small example (which will 10 minutes for working) - ex. LOGOTYPE
--------------
STEP1 - Making LOGO
It be defined with size window (like fine result your out pano) e.g. 500x250 / framerate 30 (if ani)
1. Bookmark - MOVIE
Import Logo - for the best in format WMF (after convert)
2.Use size and place of the position (e.g. right-top)
Save SWF and named - logo.SWF
3. Bookmark - EXPORT (SWF version to export= SWF8)
--------------
STEP2 - Making Framework
It be defined with size window (like fine result your out pano) e.g. 500x250 / framerate 30
1. Bookmark - MOVIE
Introduce a Script which will allow to unite your panorama and logolayer in one shell
2. Bookmark - SCRIPT (in main window) "Expert mode"
Code: Select all
onFrame (1) {
loadMovieNum("logo.swf", 2);
loadMovieNum("mypano.swf", 1);
}
Copy and paste.
Save SWF and named - e.g shell.SWF
3. Bookmark - EXPORT (SWF version to export= SWF8)
--------------
Enjoy:)
