I've been lurking for quite some time and I am very impressed with the result of Denis' work.
Bravo for Denis!
Bravo for Flash Panorama Player!
However, whilst lurking I been tinkering with FPP...and I have a few questions:
First question: Layers.
Are layer numbers virtually meaningless? It sounds like they are a way to organize resources and not something about which I need to think about...or do I?
The docs say:
Plugins loader
layer_1, layer_2, layer_3 and so on are used for loading of external modules
Any number of external plugins can be attached to the panorama. Read Using plugins tutorial to learn more about this technique.
Example: layer_1=autorotator.swf
Plugin with the greater layer number appears higher in the player window.
Is there something buried in there? Appearing Higher in the Player Window sounds important, but the more I think about it the less significant it seems.
Try as I might to find something of substance or specificity in the plugins tutorial all I find is:
Param name layer_2 means that Autorotator plugin will be loaded to the layer number 2, you can use any unique number.
I hope I can't get into trouble with sloppy layer selection, or not knowing some secret trick with layers.
So really, I am just trying to find out if there is a secret that relates to layer numbers, or is this truly something not to think twice aout?
