Hi Thomas,

I use QTVR or Flash VR automatically choosen by detecting plugins in my site http://www.lecce360.com but nevertheless I use a low resolution version in the post of my site, the time for loading the page is a little more than I like.

Is there an automatic chance to get a splash screen like the ones that use Zach Wise here

Regards.

You can do this with a simple image that is loaded instead of the Flash movie and with and "onClick" event in javascript you exchange it with the real pano. YouTube uses this method so maybe you should have a look at their code to get inspired ;).

Working on a new website (also with Wordpress like Domenico) I decided to go for a simple image with a kind of play button linked to another page with the panorama in fullframe, where I can put in also the description (for search engines) and an advertising block.
Image example in the posting:

Another possibility would be to set a poster frame for the flash panorama like they are used also for video.
And the top solution would be a pano in small resolution with the poster frame, and clicking on the fullframe button it loads another pano in high resolution.
Any hints how to do this?
