Hi, Im building my own website (first time) using CSS and Dreamweaver. Ive got the main structure and navigation up and would like to start thinking about adding content. Its a personal Page with info/portfolio of work, etc.

I want the index page to be where the panos are shown. Id like to know how to go about this, how to achive the viewer and controls... I want something like this viewer.
www.madridvirtual.com/

My index page is the viewer and pano and below a bit of text, so my question if how do I get a viewer like that?

By the way I have Immervisions Pureplayer incase that info is useful

That has to be the best displayed 360 pano I've seen to date. With most of them you see a definite bend in the photo that really distorts it. Not very evident here. Is that the display software or what?

The reason there's no "distortion" because the the amount you can zoom back has been limited so you don't get the excessive "perspective" or "tunnel view" you get whe you zoom too far back in a virtual image.

The zoom limit can be set in almost all the virtual imaging programs.

I want to do something similar to Newto3D but with Flash VR instead of QTVR. I've not managed this with Front Page. Any help with a few lines of HTML which I can insert to achieve this will be much appreciated?

Newto3D - nice looking home page.

What is it that you want to do?

Navigate from a map?

Doug,
Just need a small window in my home page to display a pano2VR generated Flash panorama with autorotate. This isn't just for decoration but to check that visitor has a Adobe Flash 8 or 9 installed. I need a few lines of code to embed the panorama.
I did this for my old site which employed QTVR and it worked well.
Don't need map locator.
Thanks
Mark

Doug,
When I'm viewing the images here, how do I set the zoom? I don't see any tools for it.

Regards,

Fergal.

Can you not simply cut-n -paste HTML from HTML page generated by Pano2VR?

When virtual image don't have a visible Zoom tool, you usually use Shift to Zoom In and Alt for to Zoom Out.

Or is it the other way around?

I'm a very poor webmaster, even worse at Flash, but can't you just copy the webpage you like and duplicate the code.

That's how I got my first webpage using iPIX Images and the iPIX Java Viewer; I just copied a sample page from iPIX.com and changed their image filename reference to the one I created and left the parameters alone.

That's how my webmaster and I figured out how to host Windows Media Video too, we copied a page, studied it and set one up to work the way we wanted it. Although I had to pay for 3 day membership to that porn site to copy the page. Nobody's better at streaming video than those guys wink

Well Doug, don't think I haven't tried. Didn't work!
Elizabeth Castro in her inestimable 'HTML for the World Wide Web - 5th Edition' tells me all about embedding QuickTime .mov files. Even with my limited understanding I managed this easily, but what little she says about other multimedia files is beyond my ken.

Mind you she suggests getting information from the publisher, Adobe's website in this case, so I did. Got this-

<script language="javascript" if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) { alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js."); } else { AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase', 'download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/...,0,0,0', 'width', '550', 'height', '400', 'src', 'phil_rr1_out.swf', 'quality', 'high', 'pluginspage', 'www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer', 'align', 'middle', 'play', 'true', 'loop', 'true', 'scale', 'showall', 'wmode', 'window', 'devicefont', 'false', 'id', 'ACTest', 'bgcolor', '#ffffff', 'name', 'phil_rr1_out.swf', 'menu', 'true', 'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain', 'movie', 'phil_rr1_out.swf', 'salign', '' ); //end AC code }</script >


Well I know still less about Java Script but was happy to copy the line into my home page entering my Flash file for the place holders and lo and behold - sorry to disappoint, NOTHING

Stuck and need help sad
