It would be extremely useful to have proper documentation for the ActionScrip interfaces.
Admitedly, I'm fairly new to Flash/ActionScript, but the lack of documentation about the Flash interfaces is frustrating.
The types of things that would be useful include:
1. Description of standard interfaces
2. Events that can be invoked
3. Use of custom parameters
The examples supplied with FPP go some way to provide this but are limited and do not cover all functionality.
To make FPP a truly flexible solution for developers of plugins etc. this would be a great help.
An example of the type of functionality I am trying to currently build is to embed Google Maps into a panorama and to set the location in the panorama's XML file as parameters (in a similar way to PurePlayer). I have the map embedded already but cannot figure out how to read teh parameters from the XML file. Check it out at http://www.vrblogger.co.uk/?p=15.
Another example is to implement a compass which would need to respond to an event that would return the pan/tilt/zoom. These properties can already be obtained but I have not found documentation regarding what events I can use.
I apologise if I have missed something obvious but would welcome some basic docs at least. An "idiot's guide" would be ideal for me :D
Cheers
