If you are using swfobject 2.1 then you can do this...

read this here... http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api

look down at this section... swfobject.getQueryParamValue(paramStr)


you'd want to do this and pass the xml file info to the flash var "pano".

Or, if you had a default xml file that you wanted to use, you could pass the flash var specific to the image file(s) you wanted to load.

There might be other / better / different ways of doing this... but since swfobject is there, it's an option.

Hi,

I'm not sure about "Anchors", but it would be possible to pass parameters via the HTTP-Get Syntax,
and redirect these parameters to the flash, have a look at the source of the http://krpano.com/krpano.html

e.g. in this way:


best regards,

when you open the link, view the source for the page.

It's not working because there is no pano specified in the url as given... but you can still see the source of the page to see how the flash var pano is setup.

Just to see if I'm following your idea... I think you are talking about a user experience where the visitor / user...

-visits site/tour that starts of with pano1.xml
-interacts with the tour and is looking at pano4.xml
-decides to bookmark the location (at pano4.xml)
-leaves / goes on / does whatever
-comes back via bookmark that takes them directly to pano4.xml

You don't want to use the ?pano=pano4.xml format... because between each pano you would have to reload the page. Understandable from a user experience issue as well as xml structure if you have complex interfaces, plugins, etc.

The concept of an anchor is interesting... but for it to work in the scenario presented, flash would need to be able to rewrite the url when a new pano / xml file is loaded.... which I'm not the right person to even know if that's possible. Since krpano can access javascript functions defined in the html page, you could see if javascript has a way of rewriting the url... without a page refresh.

One possible, but probably not desireable, option would be to setup a "share link" button for each xml using the textfield plugin. When clicked, it would open a textfield with a useable link to that specific pano using the ?pano=whatever.xml format... and the user would have to copy and paste it as needed.

Only other thing I can think of would be to find /create a swf app that was a "share this" button that could be fed parameters somehow as a plugin.

re-writing the "url" with Javascript should be possible,
but I also don't have any experience with that...
