Sorry, but I can only do one thing at a time and preparing an example takes a while.

I have uploaded an example at http://www.pano2qtvr.com/sample/iframe_test/index.html (click on the pavilion) the source of all files can be found at
http://www.pano2qtvr.com/sample/iframe_test/src.zip . I just used the _self target.

Sorry I look somewhat impatient!
I am verifying your example (which indeed works) and mine (which still doesn't)...

I keep you posted!

Hello Thomas,

Our HTML files are the same. The hotspot definition in the projectfile also are the same. I can only find a difference in the console:

My console says:
Read Configfile: _tmp_script.pqp
Looked for: D:\myPath\pano2qtvr.cfg

And yours starts with:
Read Configfile: D:\myPath\_hotspotTest\park_hotspot.pqp
Looked for: pano2qtvr.cfg

Do you expect that it can have something to do with the pqp config file?

Thanks in advance!
John.

Hello Thomas,

I draw one new hotspot, which (in combination with the iframe) is working!
The first hotspot still doesn't work.

The projectfile looks like:
hotspot.enabled=1
hotspot.1.title=Naar de tuin...
hotspot.1.url=A<tuinflash.html> T<_self>
hotspot.2.url=A<tuinflash.html> T<_self>
hotspot.2.title=test

I don't care anymore, there is obvious a bug in the first hotspot.

Can you tell me if this option is coming in a new version pano2qtvr without the use of the iframe??

Greetings,
John.

Ok, since I used the current version 1.6.3 I uploaded it now. Please try the new 1.6.3 and maybe check out the pqp files. Did you use the target <_self>?

Yes I did, see my previous post.

I will certainly try the new version!

Thanks!!

tnx for the example-files.
the iframe-solution is kind of a work-around, but it works just fine for me.
(inspired by this i switched to the swf-type too btw.. it solves some of my 64-bit issues (not mentioned) as well)

tnx

Hello Thomas,

I finally found the problem!
When I use one or more uppercase characters in the HTML filename, the file will be opened in a new window. When I only use lowercase characters the file will be opened in the same iframe (using _self).

I can reproduce this problem now!

If you would like to have an example, let me know...

Can you tell me how long I need the workaround with the iframe thus when direct linking from one swf to another will work?

Greetings,
John Baijens.

Really odd problem. I am currently working on a new version with a new hotspot editor and I hope I can find a solution by than... But this will still take 1-3 months.

Hi. I am trying to add a hotspot to flash panorama, but it doesn't work. The input file is .bmp

Have you tried to convert the input format to something else?

No, I didn't but i read in an other thread that it is not possible to add hotspots to cylindrical panoramas. Does anybody know a solution?

Pano2VR supports hotspots with cylindrical Flash 9 panoramas.
