I have searched around for an answer to this problem but am still coming up with nothing useful. I have a page with links to multiple panos authored with Pano2VR and implemented with flashobject. Whenever I load a new pano before the current one is finished loading I get this error only in firefox. For once IE is ok.

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.

Has anyone else encountered this and found a fix? Please let me know.

Here is the relevant part of the source code.

<div>
<p align="center"><b>You browser needs the Adobe Flash Plug-in to display these panoramas.
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer/" target="_blank"><img src="../flash-files/flashinstall.jpg" border="0"/></a>
<br />
Please click here to install it.</b></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[

var so = new SWFObject("../linkto/mypano.swf", "pano", "100%", "100%", "9", "#000000");

so.useExpressInstall('../flash-files/expressinstall.swf');
so.addParam("allowscriptaccess", "always");
so.write("content");
// ]]>
</script>
</div>

Thanks for your help

Are those links to the other panos in the same page? I tried to reproduce it, but I had no luck. Do you have an example page somewhere online? Which browser/operating system are you using?

The links are in the same page, here is an example.
Windows vista running firefox seems to be the only combination that causes this problem so far, but I am not sure if other browser os combos are affected or not.

I realize this only affects around 5% of the users but I would still like to know why it is happening and try to resolve it.
Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the testing Svendus I didnt know this problem was happening on IE7 too. Can I ask what operating system you are running?
I have tried changing the parameters and I have now removed all but the 2 essential parameters for swfobject to function so you can test it again if you like but I had no change in firefox.

A complete list of swf object parameters can be found here and all the info about swf object is listed on the deconcept site. Maybe those sites will give you more ideas than they gave me.

I am not the best flash programmer so I have no idea if it is a parameter or variable missing or possibly some other problem.
All advice with this issue is appreciated.

Thanks

Here it is Explorer 7 that crashes :roll: your site seems to be an Wordpress blog i think it is the urchin.Js file that makes the trouble
This is an http://www.w3.org problem that they have to solve fore you

after clicking on the link I guess there is some other problem with your site that is not related to Pano2VR.
This doesn't mean that you can not ask for support here, I just wanted to point this out.

Sorry about that IE error guys, I had the wrong doctype in there and also an illegal character on the google link at the bottom.
I cleaned the page up so it is now valid xhtml and as far as I can tell the internet explorer error is gone.

So good job Svendus, you were right that it was a w3 issue, however, it is not a wordpress blog and I am not running any scripts besides the flash object and urchin tracker. I did remove the urchin.js file from one of the pages but that didnt seem to change anything and I am still having the original firefox problem.

I have also noticed that I get this error in firefox when opening this page into multiple tabs or windows.

ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData$iinit()
at PanoTile5Class$iinit()

not sure if its related or not.

If anyone would like to test again please let me know what you come up with, here is the link.

All right it is running but you need a little cleaning in the kitchen after your experiment as we can se on your pano 2
If you want to have the tripod shown on a panorama you could show your camera there :mrgreen:
Otherwise you should remove it in PhotoShop

Hmm, if you are handing out advise. At least position the camera on the panohead roughly near the correct rotating No Parallax Point position and lose the Zenith logo bubble thing! (opinion)

Also no point starting the panorama tilt position at the nadir if you have the return to horizon without waiting for focus as it returns before even the grey scale preview track has loaded.

The panorama is hosted in Copenhagen on a 50 G-bit sek. connection
Here it loads normally
But i think sometimes things are transferred by satellite to your country
The Sony camera is taken 80 degree out of horizontal +-+
the pano is made from 26 shot images (PTGui) the camera thing are an Photoshop joke :oops: don’t take it serious
