Is there a "drop-in" gallery that can be used with KRPano?

Something like one of the galleries at flashden... it seems like anything that is XML driven will not work when loaded within KRPano... is that true? Is there a gallery that WILL work? Something other than the krpano gallery example...?

TIA - Blake

With xml driven galleries you have to check the pathing. For instance your gallery is in the subfolder /gallery and krpano.swf is in the root. Then the xml stearing the gallery should be in the root and not in the /gallery folder. An interface i'm working on has a xml file, remote db connection, remote flashvideo's. So a gallery should be easy.

I can't however promise if something from flashden works. It has to be atleast Flash 9 (CS3) written in actionscript 3, and you should be allowed to edit the source (the FLA) to make it fit krpano.

Hi,

right! it depends how the gallery checks the paths, in the most cases the paths are
relative to the html file, if you respect this, it should work,

it tested successfully the simpleviewer gallery,

here is a example - click on the "show/hide simpleviewer gallery" button:

Hi,

yes, here is the code:
http://krpano.com/panos/hafen/hafen_simpleviewer.xml

first, there a two buttons, one to show and one to hide the gallery:

Source code

 
1
2

<plugin name="showgallery" url="showgallery.png" autopos="bottom,0,20" visible="true"  alpha="1" onclick="action(showgallery);" />
<plugin name="hidegallery" url="hidegallery.png" autopos="bottom,0,20" visible="false" alpha="1" onclick="action(hidegallery);" />


then there is a "empty", invisible plugin, to avoid loading the gallery images on start
(but it would be also possible to set the url to imagegallaries swf at start)

Source code

 
1

<plugin name="gallery" url="" visible="false" alpha="0" />


now the action to show the gallery:
1. first freezeview() was called to stop the pano rendering (performance improve)
2. then my logo is faded out
3. the show/hide buttons are faded out and in
4. then the "url" is set to simpleviewer.swf?xmlDataPath=panos/hafen/gallery.xml
(now the plugin loads this url)
5. finally it is set to visible, and faded in

<action name="showgallery">
    freezeview(true);
    tween(plugin[logo].alpha,0,distance(1,0.15),,set(plugin[logo].visible,false));

    set(plugin[showgallery].enable,false);
    tween(plugin[showgallery].alpha,0,distance(1,0.15),,set(plugin[showgallery].visible,false));

    set(plugin[hidegallery].enable,true);
    set(plugin[hidegallery].visible,true);
    tween(plugin[hidegallery].alpha,1,distance(1,0.15));

    set(plugin[gallery].url,simpleviewer.swf?xmlDataPath=panos/hafen/gallery.xml);

    set(plugin[gallery].visible,true);
    tween(plugin[gallery].alpha,1,distance(1,0.15));
</action>



for hiding the gallery, it is first faded out, and then are the buttons
changed again, the logo is faded in...

</action>

<action name="closegallery">
    set(plugin[gallery].visible,false);

    freezeview(false);

    set(plugin[logo].visible,true);
    tween(plugin[logo].alpha,1,distance(1,0.15));

    set(plugin[hidegallery].enable,false);
    tween(plugin[hidegallery].alpha,0,distance(1,0.15),,set(plugin[hidegallery].visible,false));

    set(plugin[showgallery].enable,true);
    set(plugin[showgallery].visible,true);
    tween(plugin[showgallery].alpha,1,distance(1,0.15));
</action>


but it would be also possible to do that much simpler,
e.g. just change "visible" for show and hide

best regards,
Klaus

I've been playing with the tiltviewer as well... and have not had much luck.

I'm guessing here... but I think there are significant differences in tiltviewer and simpleviewer that make implementing tiltviewer more difficult.

Looking at your xml file... you tried using tiltviewer.swf?xmlDataPath... where tiltviewer uses the flash var xmlURL to set the path... plus a whole bunch of other flash vars.

I've tried with very limited success in using tiltviewer... with the primary issue being that when embedded as a plugin I couldn't get tiltviewer to recognize the flash vars passed after the ? in the url string.

I've also had trouble setting basic items like the width / height and placing it via the plugin attributes.

It's been very frustrating. *confused*

I also noticed that when you go back out of the car and try the simpleviewer... it acts strangely.

you need to add keep="true" also for the "gallery" plugin:

<plugin name="gallery" url="" visible="false" alpha="0" keep="true" />

Where in code XML it is necessary to specify position of a swf-file for an in the panorama centre, not dependent on the sizes of gallery or a swf-file? (At use not simpleviewer)
In my attempts, external swf the file position only left top.

I think that:

Source code

 
1

align="center"
It is necessary to place in this part of a code:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16

<action name="showgallery">		
                freezeview(true);
		tween(plugin[logo].alpha,0,distance(1,0.15),,set(plugin[logo].visible,false));
		
		set(plugin[showgallery].enable,false);
		tween(plugin[showgallery].alpha,0,distance(1,0.15),,set(plugin[showgallery].visible,false));
		
		set(plugin[hidegallery].enable,true);
		set(plugin[hidegallery].visible,true);
		tween(plugin[hidegallery].alpha,1,distance(1,0.15));
		
		set(plugin[gallery].url,images.swf?xmlDataPath=images.xml);
		
		set(plugin[gallery].visible,true);
		tween(plugin[gallery].alpha,1,distance(1,0.15));
	</action>

Is any ideas? *confused*

Hi,

you can try to add this "center" direct when defining the <plugin>,

e.g.

Source code

 
1

<plugin name="gallery" align="center" ... />


or in the action with:

Source code

 
1

set(plugin[gallery].align,center);


but this will only work when the size of the included swf could be measured,
this depends how the flash app handles it own size/position on the stage,
it's not always possible!

best regards,
Klaus
