Output from Pano2VR seems to run more smoothly and faster with Flash 11 in FF 3.6.23.

Am I imagining things? Is Pano2VR coded to take advantage (if there is any) of Flash 11?

Will there be a new version of Pano2VR that is coded for Flash 11???

Just curious. I like the quick response that Flash 11 seems to provide Pano2VR.

Pano2VR doesn't use the new Stage 3D of Flash 11 as this would require a complete rewrite of the rendering part, but as it looks like Flash 11 provides a faster 3D rendering also for the 3D methodes introduced in Flash 10 (and are used by Pano2VR).

Will there be a way to prompt the user to upgrade to Flash 11 even if he has Flash 10?

Is that something that can be included in the .ggt templates?

If you're using P2VR's html output you can change the required level for Flash in the SWFObject javascript to make Flash v11 the minimum required. Look for the following in the html code:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
			var flashvars = {};
			var params = {};
			params.quality = "high";
			params.bgcolor = "#ffffff";
			params.allowscriptaccess = "sameDomain";
			params.allowfullscreen = "true";
			var attributes = {};
			attributes.id = "pano";
			attributes.name = "pano";
			attributes.align = "middle";
			swfobject.embedSWF(
				"YourFile.swf", "flashContent", 
				"100%", "95%", 
				"9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", 
				flashvars, params, attributes);
//-->
</script>
and on the fourth from last line change "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf" to "11.0.0", "expressInstall.swf".

Change this in the html template if you want it to apply to all your panoramas.

Are there any future plans to implement it?
