I upgraded few weeks ago from version 3 to 4. Yesterday I tried to correct minor problem in the pano that was created in February. When I brought it to the version 4 everything looked fine until I tried to output. There were area hotspots linked to web pages that previously worked well - now links seemed not to exist at all. I checked elements multiple times, searched the web for answers, re-watched tutorials one more time and couldn't find what was wrong. Finally I decided to reinstall back Pano2Vr 3.0 and was able to output the panorama.
I compared htmls that were created with both program versions - and yes there are differences but overall all the information was there.

A good advice will be highly appreciated. It may be something silly but what?

Originally (version 3) I had relative links (see two last images).
Since then I used absolute ones and they didn't work either.
While outputting in P2VR 4 i changed default output directory to reflect the same set up as the previous version. Thanks

I can't get Area Hotspots to show up and work in flash and html file. The Point Hotspot works; Area - not. The html tags, used in the Title in hotspot editor (as indicated in the Tutorial video) are being output as text - example: <b>Green</b> shows up as <b>Green</b> not Green.

I am attaching a simple test site and a panorama project I experimented with. The links are listed in the html output file but no indication on the screen that they exist. Since I am the only one having the problem I'd appreciate Panorama Gurus words of wisdom.

Are you using the latest 4.0 Beta 2?

HTML in text I thought had been corrected in 4.0 Beta 2 (Maybe a only read it as being fixed in the bug tracker?)

Yes, HTML tags have been fixed in 4.0 Beta 2

Your Area Hotspots do not work with Flash output.
Tested with Quicktime output and they work.
I never use Area Hotspots so never came across this issue.
Why not use Polygon Hotspots?

Answer about Flash Area Hotspots
Will be fixed hopefully in the next Beta release. 4.0 Beta 3

Thanks for checking.
Yes the html tags work in 4.2.

The Polygon Hotspots didn't exist in version 3. I was "quickly" editing an older project and encounter problem with the output. The tutorials still show Aerial Hotspots so they are intended to work. I wasn't sure if it was my mistake or program's. Thanks for taking the time and saving my sanity.
