loading next panoramas

[jaaaab]

hi

is there a way to preload the next panorama of a virtual tour?

i mean for the moment, when you click a hotspot, there's a loading time, then the transition, what is very beautiful.

but it will be greater if we could for example, when the first panorama is completly loaded, preload all other views, and then when the visitor click a hospot, it gives directly the transition effect.

see what i mean?

well if it's not possible yet, think of it for next version :)

hope my ideas help you bringing flashpanoramas as the best flash player ;)

Actually, you can make the trick:
<spot id="pre1" url="snow_f.jpg" visible="0" />
<spot id="pre2" url="snow_r.jpg" visible="0" />
<spot id="pre3" url="snow_b.jpg" visible="0" />
<spot id="pre4" url="snow_l.jpg" visible="0" />
<spot id="pre5" url="snow_u.jpg" visible="0" />
<spot id="pre6" url="snow_d.jpg" visible="0" />

Place this code to the bottom of your spots.xml (to load images after all other hotspots). In invisible mode (visible="0") it take a few memory and dosn't take perfomance at all.

seems to make the load process buging a little bit, not very reliable...
