virtual tour samples

[jaaaab]

hello

has someone already made a virtual tour using transition effects provided by hotspot plugin?

i'm really curious to see one :)

all i hope is that there's no white screen between two scenes!

thanks

[Denis]

In development ;)
About transition: open hotspots example: http://flashpanoramas.com/player/test/hotspots_window.html
1. Find Flash application with combobox, choose any new item, continue to navigate...
2. Go to nadir, press snow or wood icon, continue to navigate. :)

No blank screen, even no plugins reload. Next version will contain more then 20 transition effects :)

fantastic :)

Hello,

For the virtual tour it seems that you must open a new url "openURL" in your hotspot and no just open a pano "loadPano" to really have another view (without the hotspots already existing in the first step) then there is a cut between pano1 and pano2.
Am i right, Denis ? i hope no !

Thanx
Christophe

No. You should use loadPano.
To organize different sets of hotspots you can load all of them with the first pano, then use "visible" parameter to change current hotspots set, like:

<spot id="snow1" pan="210" tilt="-70" url="arrow.png" smoothing="1" scaleable="1"

onClick="
loadPano:wood.swf,-;
change:snow1,visible,0;
change:snow2,visible,0;
change:snow3,visible,0;
change:snow4,visible,0;
change:wood1,visible,1;
change:wood2,visible,1;
change:wood3,visible,1;
change:wood4,visible,1;
"
/>

To make more complex logic you have to use Flash controller application.
Next version of Hotspot plugin will give more possibilities to load/unload hotspots.

Thank you Denis !

I feel a great relief to read it.

I'm gonna apply this logic or rather try it coz it may be complicated with something like 20 panos.

Will let you know :wink: .

oh.....one more thing.......Something fastidious is also to set the hotspots exactly where i want them......pan -40, no -45....oops no -42.....tilt 52, etc.... I imagine that it's the only way to do it ?!?

I've tried it. Nothing's works.
With your code and tutorial.........nothing ! :cry:

[christophe]

ok...it works.....but strangely only with number and no with letter in the name of the hotspot !
:roll:
I will have something like 40 hotspots and i have to repeat all those 40 spots to each one to tell them :
"onClick on 1, you ok, you no, you ok and you no,....."
"onClick on 2, you ok, you no, you ok and you no,....."
"onClick on 3, you ok, you no, you ok and you no,....."

It should be easyer with name like "kitchen1", "kitchen2".....but as soon as i put a letter in the name everything stop to work. :x

Could you tell me where i'm wrong please ?

[Denis]

Hm... Could you give me your xml snippet? I will try to repeat this bug...

[christophe]

Ni Denis,

I sent you a MP.

Thanx

[christophe]

opps Hi, not Ni ! :roll:

[jaaaab]

can we see the sources files of this demo panorama?

thanks!

[christophe]

Thank you Denis for your mail answer.

I've tried to make a virtual tour that i had already done but now i give up. It's a so long work to calibrate each spots on a not so big project.
I will use this way on a one shot pano or 2 or 3 views tour but 79 hotspots with 20 panos .....hum !

Question: (again :roll: )
"onStart" it's possible to change the pan but "onLoad" the new pano have it own default start and it seems that there's no way to have an influence on. Right ? wrong ?

New loaded panorama have the same position as previous one. You can move them together while transition effect runs...
Have 2 ideas how to change the panorama position without wrench:
1. First panorama going to light (brightness +100%) or fades to dark (black screen), panorama jumps to new position, new panorama appears form the light (from the dark). I will add this transition to the next Hotspots.
2. Show one hotspot fullscreen (to cover old panorama), it can be a series of photos to make a trace between two panorama points. Need more event to control this effect...

I understand this pain... Is there anything like th SPi-V "spotter" in the works? - http://www.fieldofview.com/spv-dev/node/486

Simple WYSiWYG editor is coming. :) It will be in February as well.
