Plugin is ready to use. You can download the examples and test its functionality.
Note that the examples will work only offline / locally. This is the limitation of the demo version.
If you want to use this plugin online (i.e. in the Web) - it must be purchased. There is no limitations in full version.
Plugin's page have been updated. Product price and purchase link have been added.
Update to the plugin has been released. Now it supports URL parameters parsing.
Review the documentation for details.
Online demos has been added to the plugin's page. Now you can test the plugin online.
When purchased, do we get the source FLA / .as files?
No, the source files is not included and I have no plans to sell the source files.
Why are you need it?
I know that can be send the current URL to the clipboard ( copyLink () ).
Can be do the same to a variable in KRpano?

Why are you need it?
We need to adept it to fit our krpano template system needs (basicly I want my interface to control the information for swfadress, rather then putting an xml node and let swfadress read it out). But if the source isn't available, then I have to re-create it. :) thanks anyways, maybe Ill try it out for just 10euro ;)

Don't understand why the manual mode of the plugin don't fits your needs?
Manual mode is designed to give you a full control under the url.
a onclick of a hotspot, fires a pseudo function events.changepanorama(1); which is binded to the flash interface I created, it looks up from a different xml, which xml to load, what the name is of the location, which colors, which map, where to put radar etc. So it's based on an id, not a name. Setting your plugin on manual, would require a number to make events.changepanorama(1) work,
and somdomain.com/1 isn't a logical url, they want http://somedomain.com/hotel. I could create a other flash function that gets the xml url on base of a panorama name (events.changepanoramabyname), but a panorama name isn't unique, you can have a lot of hotels for example. I have to rethink a bit of my architecture I guess. Would it be possible to allow a extra fragment? for instance http://domain.com/hotels/1 (so if there are more panoramas with the name hotel, take the first one, ofcourse this is something I need to script). the fragment of hotels/1 would be parsed to the flash function and I could do a simple str strip.
Well, if your flash interface is perfoming data lookup process for each pano, it is not a problem to get the needed values for panorama id from your data xml file and call plugin methods from your interface functions (e.g.):
It's also possible to set the path as /hotel/1.
Ok thanks for the explanation, I'll order the plugin one of these days :)
i ended up buying this plugin from Jaydee and it is a treat once setup correctly. i have a very unique tour that he helped me tweak and adjust settings to get swfaddressing working in manual mode. he has been great help even after the purchase! the best thing i likeabout swf addressing is that once setup you can drop a user into any 360 directly even if it is not your starting xml and it loads the entire tour skin.
and maybe more importantly. With correct setup, it helps ALOT with SEO. Google indexes http://www.yourdomain.com/projects/hotel-awesome waaaaaay better thabhhn http://www.yourdomain.com/?xml=somexml.xml
Update to plugin have been released. The major changes include:
View changelog and documentation for the details.
Also, you might want to take a look at the example, which demonstrates the e-mail link sharing.
All current customers will recieve update for free. My contact e-mail is listed on this page. Use that to request the updated version of the plugin. Don't forget to include your registration info (first name, last name and e-mail) in the body of message.
P.S. Many thanks to all customers for the feedback!

I'm excited to present you a nice free addition to the SWFAddress plugin - URL shortener plugin.
It uses the bit.ly API to shorten URLs. So, now you can use both plugins to share a nice short link to particular view in your virtual tour! Check it out!
Also, this plugin makes possible to share SWFAddress plugin links on Facebook! (By default, the Facebook sharer can't properly parse SWFAddress plugin links due to some bugs in parser).
You can use the Bit.ly URL shortener plugin for free in your projects. Get plugin and example from the examples package on SWFAddress plugin page!
Documentation for Bit.ly URL shortener plugin:
attributes:
interface functions:
Example XML code:
<plugin name="bitly"
url="plugins/bitly.swf"
apikey="YOUR_API_KEY"
login="YOUR_LOGIN"
onsuccess="trace(URL successfuly shortened: %URL);"
onerror="showlog(); trace(The URL cannot be shortened);"
/>
<plugin name="shortenbutton"
url="images/shorten.png"
onclick="plugin[bitly].shorten(http://krpano.com/plugins/, true);"
/>
