Pre Load Panorama

[jamesbells.com]

I was wondering if you can create a flash panorama and when its embedded into a web page it doesnt load unit the viewer clicks on a part of the panorama to start the loading. Also could the panorama have a preview image prior to loading. I believe Flash Panoram Player does this? Any info would be greatly received.

Hi
I made this some time back:

It uses a blank pano in a skin to start with, so very little load time, I then use the skin to open other panos.

Open question: Cursor Pointers show\hiding option absence...

(maybe for Thomas)

This looks great. Just what Im looking for, is this all done via the skin editor. Ive not used to software for a few months since doing these images http://jamesbellphotography.co.uk/gallery_197308.html

I like the idea of the viewer seeing a jpg preview of the scene then choosing to load the 360 file.

Thanks

OK
Found the side to side menu skin. I would set the arrows further apart so you can not accidently click on an image.

For the first pano make a white equirectangular image, set the Cube face size and image quality both to 1
This will give you a very small file size; in fact the skin will be the largest thing.
Chang the images to your own and give them a mouse click open next pano action as well as a hide self.
The close button opens the first pano, the white one and shows the menu.

Pano2vr now can use jpgs in the skin so this will be good for the pictures in the menu and don’t forget to click the Export to first frame tick box so all the menu is loaded first.
