If you like to do something like the tour example you need for the moment Flash 8 or Flash 9. The source code is posted right near that example. If you want to do it without Flash you need to load html pages, for example into an iframe.

create a hot spot that links to another [url page] http://yourdomain/filename.htm where filename.htm contains the code that starts your flash.swf or qtvr.mov movies.

many thanks. that means I have to upload it on server to get url linked in the hotspot. is there no other way to link
vidios in hotspot?
thanks for your co-operation.

No, you don't need a server. Just use relative urls link pano1.html, pano2.html etc. and this should work fine locally/on a CD.

When possible will, make simple links - pano.swf via other SWF pano???

e.g. URL: pano.swf / Traget: ----

It's difficult?

Unfortunately yes, because you can not do this (as far as I know) in Flash. You need to have a container for this and I plan to have a solution at some point...

[hum@no.id]

Why? This release one idle time by script

Code: Select all

loadMovie("second_pano.swf");

Flash (OCX or standalone player framework) - change first move to second move...

Or there really other notions?

Please, see small example (into ZIP 2 swf files)
ps. run files on any 'root' position

The problem is that (beside of no loadMovie function in Fash 9) that the first pano stays in memory and the second panorama is child of the first one. So if you load the third, forth or hundredth you have a lot of objects in memory that are all children of the previous panorama. This long chain will slow down the rendering over time. As far as I know the only solution is to have a main container that is the parent of all panoramas and this container can kick the children if they are not need anymore.

hi,
this is my first entry here. first of all: great software !

I want to link two or more than two .mov or swf file.

If you like to do something like the tour example you need for the moment Flash 8 or Flash 9. The source code is posted right near that example. If you want to do it without Flash you need to load html pages, for example into an iframe.

now to this. i have managed to link several qt .movs within the quicktimeplayer. don´t know if this is what is intended.
if you use "myself" as target and in the URL just the name.mov, the new panorama opens within the player. this works without http.

cheers
