Panorama loads then changes

[ccmas]

I've tried to specify a change of brightness and contrast but the panorama loads with inherent brightness and then is visibly seen to switch to new brightness and contrast as directed by my pano command.

The same happens with the pan command - the original panorama is displayed and then it quickly pans.

The beginning of my xml file is below.

Does anyone know what's missing please?

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<panorama>
<parameters>

panoName = images/bb1
behaviour = 0
zoomHome = 0.7

layer_2 = ../../../globalfiles/hotspots.swf
layer_5 = ../../../globalfiles/autorotator.swf
layer_8 = ../../../globalfiles/editor.swf

</parameters>

<autorotator>
speed = 0.04
interval = 30
pause = 2000
quality = low
</autorotator>

<hotspots>
<global onStart="external.autorotator.disabled=1" onOver="scale=1.1,600,elastic;depth+=20" onOut="scale=1,300;depth-=20" >

<pano pan="95" />

<!--
<pano contrast="0.12" brightness="0.12" />
-->
....
....

</global>
</hotspots>

</panorama>

Hey there:

I can't speak to the change in brightness/contrast that you see, but I think you should be using something different if you want to set the initial view of your panorama.

I'd use something like:


<panorama>
<parameters>
...
panHome=90
...
</parameters>
...
</panorama>


?

Hi Patrick
You're absolutely right. The initial pan works with that. Many thanks.

I'd still like to change the initial brightness and contrast on loading. I could take it into Photoshop but it would be much quicker to be able to do it in xml.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
