Is there someway to gently steer visitors to our panos to update their flash plugin to ver. 10?
By "gently" I mean, giving them the choice to update before viewing, or to view it with the currently installed flash9 plugin and the lower performance.
thanks

Hi
Flash player 9 can not alpha text, where flash player 10 can.

Place a text box under the load bar text box and set it as a child of it, now type in something like “For a better experience upgrade to Flash Player 10”.

Now set its Alpha to 0.005.

When open in flash player 9 you will see the text until the panorama is loaded.

Open in Flash Player 10 and you will not see the text.

You could go one step further and add a Go To URL action to the text box linking to the Adobe Flash Player download website:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

all the best.

Hopki :)
