Sorry for this amateur question, but what flash format do I choose to be displayed in a popup box? There seems to be FLV and SWF (with embedded FLV according to Wikipedia?).

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Please note that the 'text box method' of inserting external videos into Pano2VR Flash panoramas is not officially supported!
I just happened to stumble upon the possibility after reading Adobe Flash documentation and subsequently doing some brutal experiments.
Here is an old thread where we discussed technical details:

Reading it might help.

Cheers!

Thank you Erik. I did use your text box method with normal images already. But this time I guess it will not do.

What I want to achieve is a panorama with a hotspot opening a box with flash video and controllers. So, the box should have options to be designed a little bit and I will probably need a container for this, don't I?

There is a default skin with video controller, but e.g. the play button does only have an action "play video", no options for e.g. the video file. So its a bit confusing for me to see how this should work.

Funny that there is a tutorial about panoramic video (very sophisticated) but not about embedding video clips as a standard media :-) Too easy? Or too difficult/impossible?

Yours,
Michael

This is an extraordinary tour project! Congratulations for this example.

Anyhow, I seem unable to find a video presentation anywhere, since I'm not able to read the hotspot graphics. I THINK I have clicked on all of them, but I may be wrong. Can you help me, please?

Yours,
Michael
