Hotspots on FPP...

Hello everyone,
I'm just trying to create a tour with a set of panoramas on FPP using quicktime mov files.
the XML file has the following code on the hotspot button:
<box id="Lounge" alt="Click to visit the Lounge area" pan="-42.15" tilt="0" distance="0.96" rotationX="-0.01" rotationY="-18.44" rotationZ="0.01" url="images/walk.png" linked="panos/TreisLaloun_1"
onClick="pano.leash=free; loadPano(panoName=panos/TreisLaloun_2&panHome=10&tiltHome=0,200,stripes)" />
where the panoramas TreisLaloun_1 and TreisLaloun_2 are .mov files.
When I click on the hotspot being shown inside TreisLaloun_1 the loading bar is loading the TreisLaloun_2 but it stucks on the parsing procedure, and no further action is held.
Aren't hotspots able to load other .mov or am I doing something wrong?
There is also this code on the parameters:
<parameters>
layer_10 = files/glassMeter.swf
layer_12 = files/tooltips.swf
layer_3 = files/limits.swf
layer_4 = files/autorotator.swf
layer_6 = files/cylConverter.swf
layer_7 = files/movDecoder.swf
layer_8 = files/menuFullscreen.swf
layer_9 = files/hotspots.swf
loaderStreamed = 1
loaderBandwidth = 3000
panoType = mov
panoName = panos/TreisLaloun_1
segments = 20
panHome=80
zoomMax=2.8
zoomMin=0.6
zoomHome=2.70
tiltHome=4
</parameters>
Thanx in advance for any input/advice/tip.
Friendly Nikos

Have you checked that your movie also uses Caps.
How did you create the movie? PTGui?
PTGui can make a lot of tiles which the movdecoder does not like.
Use 3x3 max. I have seen that one of mine which I used 5x5 behaves very peculiar in Explorer. PTGui makes 9x9 for large movies.
Do you have an URL for it. Would be easier to detect problems .
Oh, now I see you use stripes. I wonder how that works together with Loaderstreamed?

Thanx for your time Hans.
After some time of experiment I still can't find out what the problem is.
The file name is set correct in the xml as it concerns the Caps, otherwise it would give a "movie/file not found".
The mov files are created in pano2QTVR using 3x3 and are played just fine when they are on their own xml/html files.
It seems to me that there must be a memory issue as my Firefox crashes if the hotspot loads a panorama larger than 1.6MB, else it freezes at "parsing".
Here are the uploaded files:
www.360visits.gr/_projects/treisLaloun/1.htm
www.360visits.gr/_projects/treisLaloun/2.htm
where in 1 there is a + sign to load the 2, and in 2 there is a + sign to load 1.
Friendly Nikos

Yes I can se what happens.
The server is very slow but thats probably not the problem.
I guess something is wrong with the previews.
I would try making them without previews.
Where did you get this movdecoder from.
This one is only 8kb and dated 19 januar 2009
The one I use at panoramas.dk is 12kb and from 25/02/2008
