Hi everyone,
I just started playing with the player and as I don't have any coding experience I'm finding hard to get the results that the tutorial mentions.

1-I'm on a Mac and the first problem I found is that I can't open the "nature.swf" in Safari. And if I double click the file it will open flash, but not the file. And the only way to open this file is from Firefox. If I try to drag the file on the browser, it won't open. Do you think this is a Mac compatibility issue?

2-The plug-ins won't work. I created the xml file and added the text as indicated in the tutorial but nothing happen. I would like to use autorotator.swf, limit the tilt (I don't have a fish eye and anyway, I don't need a cubic VR but a cylindrical panorama only).

I'm really stuck here and if somebody went through these issues before, please help me.

Thank you

Thank you

could you post a little bit more information? or your XML or HTML code?

make sure the plugins are in the same folder as your files (or use the right path in the xml)

Hello Shanti,
Thank you for your response. This is the xml file I'm using:

<?xml version="1.0" ?> _
<params>_
<param name="layer_1" value="fps.swf" />
<param name="layer_2" value="autorotator.swf" />
<param name="disableTilt" value="1" />
</params>

well just make sure autorotator.swf and fps.swf are in the same folder as the xml and that should work

Hi again,

I have all the files into the same directory. I'll try to send the files to Denis in case he can have a look.
Thank you. You helped me to know that I'm not far from the solution!

Taking another look at your xml, is that the only thing inside it?

because you are not loading any face cubes.


<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <params>
<param name="image_f" value="mov0-img.jpg" />
<param name="image_r" value="mov1-img.jpg" />
<param name="image_b" value="mov2-img.jpg" />
<param name="image_l" value="jmov3-img.jpg" />
<param name="image_u" value="mov4-img.jpg" />
<param name="image_d" value="mov5-img.jpg" />
<param name="qualityStatic" value="high" />
<param name="qualityMotion" value="low" />
<param name="loaderTextColor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="loaderBackColor" value="#333333" />
<param name="zoomHome" value="0.7" />
<param name="panHome" value="0" />
<param name="tiltHome" value="0" />
<param name="mouseBehaviour" value="1" />
<param name="segments" value="25" />
<param name="layer_1" value="fps.swf" />
<param name="layer_2" value="autorotator.swf" />
</params>

thats my xml, try it change the cube face values and see if it works

It works now!
Thank you so much. I'm still a dumb dealing with these codes and I didn't add the images file.
