I want the Pano2VR-produced SWF to load into an empty movie clip (panoHolder) when I click a button.
When I click the button in the test mode, this panorama seems to load fine. But when I try to publish the project it appears fuzzy and doesn't load completely. Ideally, I want the SWF to load into the empty MC at 900 x 450.
Here's the code that's on the button, which controls the loading of the SWF into the empty MC:
on (release) {
loadMovie("panohole1.swf",_root.panoHolder);
}
Is the problem on the Flash end, or am I not choosing the correct preferences when I'm converting the files from QT MOVs to SWFs in Pano2VR?
Any help would be appreciated!

Externally loaded SWFs look very fuzzy when published in FLA

I see the loader bar which tells be that the image is still loading and what you are seeing is the "cube matrix preview". Typically shortly after the loader bar goes away.. the preview (low res version) is replaced by the final panorama which should be in focus. But it comes into focus cube faces at a time.
Specifying the 'Preview' format 3x3, 5x5, 8x8 color or grayscale is done at the time when you create the original QTVR .mov.
Of course I just might be guessing here.

Okay, here is the project. Please click on the red flag on hole no. 1 to see the fuzzy panorama and loading bar that stays on the panorama, even though it appears to be fully loaded:

We have the panorama loading into an empty movie clip. We're using Flash 8 on Mac OSX, and viewing it in Safari.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

In another thread, I looked at the 'fuzzy' issue. The fuzzyness is there because you are seeing the "PREVIEW" matrix. After it completes the loading.. it gets sharper.
The movie clip is what I was talking about in the other near same topic thread. Maybe the track stop frame needs to be moved 4 or 5 frames beyond the end point to allow it to complete the loading process.

It seems the problem is pulling the external SWF file into an empty movie clip within Flash. I'm wondering if it's possible that the code produced by the latest version of the pano2vr does not like Flash 8 or AS2?
There is no stop action anywhere near the empty movie clip file, so I'm still not sure why the panorama SWF won't load completely.

Are you trying to load a Flash 9 swf into a Flash 8 container or did you export the panorama as Flash 8? Loading a Flash 9 file into a Flash 8 project is not a good idea...
