FLASH: Re: Flash and panoramas

[Tom Hedstrom]

The movie canvas size does not matter, the frame rate does not matter. You

can just experiment to find out the number of frames, add 20-something and

you'll see when it disappears.


I know I can use the embed tags to control pan and tilt values, but this can

not be done in real-time, it would involve rewriting the HTML page

continuously. 


I did however figure out to do this, using a software called Live Stage. It

basically involves creating the flash content in flash and then opening the

QTVR in LiveStage and drop the SWF in. This gives me access to all the flash

buttons and actions I've created so that I can apply these to control

anything I want inside the QTVR.


I'll be working on a demo of this next week, if you're interested I'll point

you to an example when it is finished. Mail me off-list.
