I'm trying to import the SWF into another Flash document, but for whatever reason I have no control over where the VR Flash file appears on the stage. It always defaults to the top left corner, no matter what Actionscript I use to tell it otherwise. Is there anyway to turn off forcing the position of the VR to 0, 0 in the resulting SWF?

Yes, there are 2 ways to do this:
- If you want to set the position before the initialization you can send the position to the movie clip with:

Code: Select all

 var vr:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("vr", 1);
 vr._lockroot=true;
 var myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
 var myListener = new Object();
 myListener.onLoadStart = function () {
 // Set the dimensions and position of the pano
   vr.window_width=500;
   vr.window_height=380;
   vr.window_x=100;
   vr.window_y=10;
 };
 myLoader.addListener(myListener);
 myLoader.loadClip("mypanorama.swf", vr);
or you can move the panorama after the loading with

Code: Select all

vr.pano.setWindowSize(<width>,<height>); // sets the current panorama window size
vr.pano.setWindowPos(<x>,<y>); // sets the panorama window position

That worked! Why the methods I tried before didn't work I've no idea. This works and I can adapt it to the rest of the project. Thanks!
