Hello


1. I noticed that full screen button doesn't work on iphones.

For example, on this URL: http://www.krk360.com/
click full screen button (or double-click) doesn't open pano in full screen on iphones.
it works on everything else.

This one doesn't work either: http://www.krk360.com/projekti/villaspg/
Standard full screen button on the bottom.


2. Some skin elements like textfield which are supposed to show only when something is clicked or with mouse-over
are shown by default on iphones even with "visible" option unchecked.
It works on everything else.


3. I noticed that this panorama http://www.krk360.com/projekti/villaspg/
stutters on iphones when hotspots are activated.

When hotspots are hidden (button on the bottom), panorama spins OK.
I'm using semi transparent png for hotspot icons.

This doesn't occur with 1-2 hotspots visible on the screen on the same time,
but if more than 2 are visible panorama panning stutters a bit.
It works OK on PC and androids.

Should I use svg graphics only or avoid to use sem transparent stuff completely?

Any hints on this?

Hi Hrvoje,
1. I noticed that full screen button doesn't work on iphones.
Yes iOS doesn't support full screen on either iPhone or iPad. If you check out this forum post I describe how I've implemented a full screen button for iOS. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10120&hilit=javascr ... een#p40772
2. Some skin elements like textfield which are supposed to show only when something is clicked or with mouse-over

I had a similar problem when using iFrames in a textbox so I'm wondering if that's what you use as well.

I personally always use SVG files. The problem with the transparent png files is that they may be re-rendering on every frame movement. Try them without transparency and see what happens.

Hello Tony

1. Darn, iDevices always need to be "different" and block something useful because of reasons.
In order to use this solution I would need to redo ton of panos, and make process for new ones more difficult.
I'll pass this one :)

2. yes, I frames were doing it. Maybe instead of just visible/invisible, I could use minus coordinates,
so that its completely out of way when not in use...
Also devs could take a look into it?

3. Ill try non transparent svg instead.

Thanks for the input.

My only hope is that someday with an iOS Update Apple will allow this, it makes nonsense this blocking with a thing that is going more and more popular on browsers or per example on real estate portals where the panos are live an integrated with iFrames.
