panoStripe problem [Archive]

05-22-2007, 08:28 AM

I have a pano stripe image and have tried adding it to a folder and naming it the same as the flash file. I just can't seem to get it to work.

My image is 4206 x 768 pixels and 937kb

I tried naming it church.jpg and renaming the panoStripe.swf file as church.swf.

I then edited embedPano.html to show:-

<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="files/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("church.swf", "pano", "100%", "100%", "9", "#666666");
so.write("flashcontent");
window.document["pano"].focus();
</script>
</body>

I did remember to copy the files folder into my test folder as well.

When I try and view the html file, I see NO pano (in fact I see nothing) in either Firefox OR Explorer 7

Could someone post a link to a folder with the panoStripe.swf file, and html page and an image file that works so I can try and find out what's going on.

Thanks

Hi jm,

this might seem obvious but, you copied the swfobject.js file to your test folder? and is it alongside the church.swf file or is it inside a folder named "files"?

Thanks Paulo, yes I tried the js in both locations. I emailed the author who has now got back to me indicating that the "stripe" image has to be of a particular format and NOT of the format outputted by the likes of Adobe Photoshop or other standard software, which is a shame as that is:

A. What I wanted.
B. I would imagine most people thought would be acceptable.
C. Very common

He did kindly suggest that

I think PTAssembler can transform you projection to cubes or cube stripe.

But I did not want a 'multi stage' process, I was looking for something really simple to replace an old javascript, which is why I was attracted to the idea that this method was really simple.

Any ideas?

Thanks

JM

I told you, you have a cylinder, not a cube stripe.
Yes, Flash Panorama Player can show cylinders, but only after convertion to cube or to cube stripe.

Flash Panorama Player can't show "any stripe". Also FPP can't open equirectangular images now.

Please, could you show me where did I write that my player support cylinder stripes on my site? I should correct it right now. My apologize for misunderstanding.
