Default preloading panoramas

Hello fellows,

I'm trying to preload a set of panoramas from a Flash application. Is there any function in the plug in that I can use?
Other option...

Thank you for any help.

Zephyr has his Image Cache Plug-In at Flashpanos.com

There is some question or confusion about whether or how well it actually works. Perhaps Zephyr, if he sees this thread, can clear that up.

AS long as you use images (cubefaces) you can just use a standard javascript preloading script in your html file.

Works perfect in all browsers. Safari will however not load more than around 15-18 mb in all.

What's the javascript/html syntax for loading the images so it's compatible with the pano or pano0 swf files?

This is what I've used before:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from none JavaScript Browsers
Image1= new Image(700,500)
Image1.src = "images/image_0.jpg"

Image2 = new Image(700,500)
Image2.src = "images/image_1.jpg"

// End Hiding -->
</SCRIPT>

Does this still apply here? How should the images be named or referrenced? This method doesn't seem to be having any effect so far.

Hmm...

Maybe try putting that in an actual function call, and calling it from the onload of your HTML doc?

I don't think this is an FPP issue...

@djsegler

Maybe you could, like cheathamlane suggested, try using something like this:

Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from non-JavaScript-browsers

function PreloadImages()
{
var myImage1 = new Image();
myImage1.src = 'images/image1.jpg';

var myImage2 = new Image();
myImage2.src = 'images/image2.jpg';

}

// End Hiding -->
</script>

<body onload="PreloadImages()">
Haven't tried this yet, but maybe it works. Please let us know if it's of any use.

Regards, Ph.
