new flash panorama player VRSmarty.com
Posted: 9 Apr 2011 at 4:30 GMT

After some thoughts I decided to show off the first demos of the new player
vrsmarty.com/

excuse me as it is a little messy, this is not a proper announcement, however the demo shows most features the player has
It is still not a public release, though it is very close to the first version
I am working on the vrsmarty webpage and docs

at top left corner there is an editor - the main tool to create virtual tours

Darek


------------

Key features

Fast rendering – with stage size 1200x800px around 60 fps, 1900x1200 around 40fps

Flash 10 support

Multi panorama format support including:
Cube faces (6 cube faces)
Skyboxes (3x2, 2x3, cross, 1x6, 6x1)
Quick Time (.mov including quick time preview)
Multiresolution using zoomify technology

Fast new panorama display using built in preview feature with a skybox low resolution panorama

TweenLite/TweenMax CLUB support

Embedding support - player can be loaded into another MovieClip

XML and loaderInfo support

Very easy and natural xml structure

Direct access to as3 code with xml or functions - if a function in any object, class, loader or spot is accessible – you can use it

Feature rich functions with structure similar to original as3 code

“If” statement using xml or functions

Extremely easy plugin structure – now everyone who has little knowledge of as3 code can create his/her own feature rich plugins

Several spot types including perspective, billboard and static – with possibility to change the spot types dynamically

3 spot layers: “background” for spots under panorama view, “stage” for spots above panorama but limiting to stage view, “pano” for spots above panorama but limiting the spot view to panorama window, spot layers can be changed dynamically

Alive panorama window – you can set the desired panorama window size with a simple function

Very handy panorama editor plugin

Several free plugins available and the number grows

hi

seems to be very complete!

1) is there a cache plugin to load the images (normal panos or multires) while seeing first pano?

2) how are the wirestam's plugins handled? is it the same architecture than FPP?

Thanks!

seems to be very complete!

yes, it is

1) is there a cache plugin to load the images (normal panos or multires) while seeing first pano?

yes and no,
yes - because there is a cache plugin I wrote to load preview panoramas and user images
no because it doesn't change anything except that you save some milliseconds between panoramas, the player is designed this way that it will try to open/load/display a small preview panorama first - the reaction can be very fast - it works similar to krpano rather than FPP

because of the above the player doesn't have a preloader,

2) how are the wirestam's plugins handled? is it the same architecture than FPP?

the plugin architecture is similar to FPP (I would say normal as3 code as everyone would write), but much simpler as the player can fire any real function of any object (and because of some additional shorcuts the player has), you create a plugin set a function e.g. function myFunction() and in xml you write: onClick="spot_id.content.myFunction()" and the function of the plugin will fire

when people understand what it really means - they will love it just as much as I do - I call it: direct access to as3 code - this makes impossible things possible
