That was the first place I looked. None of the relevant events work every time.
I first went with just onnewscene/onnewpano and noticed that if I click fast enough, the event won't fire which is a complete deal breaker for my application.
Clicking fast is easy to replicate, for example, choosing from the thumbnails, but also just clicking on the hotspots.
I did get better results adding onnewscene, onblendcomplete and onloadcomplete to fire at the same time. Though it still seems hackish.
If I click through fast enough the events still sometimes won't fire, but it's much better than just onenewscene.
