Hi.

Is there a way to give a button done with the skin-editor a fscommad "quit" function? Like the fullscreen-command, just a quit. I´m doing a fullscreen-projector...

I can do it with a button done in the flash-fullscreen-container, but this button is not part of a animated UI-element done with the skin-editor.

It would be nice to give a button any custom AS3. Can this be done? Till Monday? :mrgreen:

Or how can I adress button from the skin-editor in Flash?

Hi Sascha,

You can give your fullscreen button a 'toggle' functionality, so the first mouseclick will make the pano go fullscreen, the second will make it small again, the third fullscreen, etc.etc.
But besides any interface you may make yourself there is always the [Escape] button on your keyboard that will force a fullscreen Flash image back to normal. The downside of the [Escape] button is that its use will mess up the synchronization of your fullscreen toggle button's graphics.

Cheers,

Erik

Hi Erik.

Thank you for answering, but you didn´t get me right. I don´t have problems with fullscreen-mode, I can handle this in any way, but I have a problem to quit the application.

I start the panorama from a flash-projector-exe, this projector starts fullscreen.

There are three ways to quit this applications: Alt+F4, Esc (to quit fullscreen) > close window with mouse (tihs is not suitable for me, I have a onEnterFrame fullscreen-commad, whenever I quit fullscreen, it´s set back to fullscreen immediately) and a button with the function fscommand("quit").

The button is what I need. I can do it directly in Flash (not in Pano2VR), but then this button is not part of the Pano2VR-interface, therefore I cannot put this button into a Pano2VR-container to show and hide the UI.

So what I need is a "quit"-command inside Pano2VR. Or the ability to add any custom AS3 command to a button, so that I can do the fscommand by myself (I´m AS3 newbie, so I don´t know if this will work - I don´t know when wich classes at what point have to be imported...).

Thomas, I think you know what I mean?

Best regards.

Sascha

Hi
While playing with embedding flash elements, I made a flash 8 animated button with an FS Command “Quit” on click.

When I embedded it into a Pano2VR flash pano, clicking the button made the pano quit.

Any help :?:

Hi Martin,
Did you make that button in Adobe's Flash program?

Hi Erik greetings from the UK :lol:
Yes, I made it in Flash 8.

I am not at my main computer at the moment but I will dig out the swf file and post it later on. :D

The reason for playing with FS Commands is that active swf files don’t work, if I use a text box to embed an external swf file with an action, say an onclick animation the action set in the text box, say toggle full screen is ignored. :(

kind regards
Martin

Thanks Martin!
As mentioned in another thread, I don't know much about authoring Flash, but it looks like that will have to change quickly!
Smooth mentioned using SWiSH, perhaps that would be a 'good enough' tool for what VR-panographers like myself need to be able to do.

Regards,

Erik

Hi Erik
I am not that experienced in flash either, :) but there’s loads of info and help on the web. I only used flash to make buttons and fancy page banners for my applications and small webpages.

Example Here

All the best

Ehhh Martin, when I click on that link Firefox only shows the source code of that webpage.
Was that your intention?
It appears to have no !DOCTYPE declaration.

Hi Erik
Works on IE, I will look into this, I don’t have FF.

See if you can open and look around http://www.addresstoview.com

It’s a simple front end and not realey for the public to see, also try

http://www.addresstoview.com/ksp

Let me know
Many thanks

The selection pages like http://www.addresstoview.com/Norwich/norwich.htm work,
but of http://www.addresstoview.com/flat14 and http://www.addresstoview.com/flat19
only the HTML-code is shown in Firefox v3.0.5 (WinXP Pro 32bits SR2).
Again, those pages do not have a !DOCTYPE.

Hmmm, but neither does ...norwich.htm when I look at the Page Source in Firefox.
Odd.

Same with http://www.addresstoview.com/ksp, only HTML-code.
(also without a doctype declaration)

Update 1: Opera v9.63 Build10476 also only shows HTML-code with those pages.
Update 2: Safari v3.1.2 (525.21) ditto, only HTML-code.
