hi:

i try to use pano2vr to convert a site map into a flash. then i will add some hotspots on the map so it will redirect me to different pano scenes. when i input the map, i select type "flat"
then i created a few hotspots on it.
when the flash file is generated, all the hotspots are all in the wrong positions?

can anyone advice me how can do it?

Is your image a flat image or an equirectangular? Only use the Flat option if the image is really flat, like a regular photo.

yes it is a flat image. it is basically just a normal map and i want to add hotspot on it.
after i add the hotspot and generate the flash file. all the hotspots aren't in the correct position as expected.

Hmm. All works well on my end, both Area and Point hotspots.

Are you using version 2.3.1?

I may be confused as to exactly what you're doing, but if you have a map with hotspots on it that link to other panoramas, why not add the map as an image in the skin editor and add the hotspots there?

before i still use 2.3 beta 5 or sth but i just upgrade the program to 2.3.1 now.
i redo the whole project again and everything looks ok now. i can get the hotspot in the right position.
i want to use skin editor but the procedures look very complicated.
thank you very much for your follow up my issue. :D :D :D
