Hi all,

This question was posted awhile back without an answer,..wondering if someone can help or direct me to the answer. I have a video hotspot playing in a tv,..all works well,...upon clinks video will pause and unpause. I have added flying out hotspot images from the sample code, and all works well, except upon clicking the flyout, the video is stopped but the video sound continues.......any thoughts. Thanks.

Rob

Hi Klaus and thanks for your look,.........

The tour is here http://www.cthomes4sale.com/mp9/mp9.html

tour opens to the front deck,..enter the front door to the living room. The TV is playing a video and the flyout is on the coffee table. A click enable the flyout but kills the video. Also can I preload the video in the main xml page for a quick start??

Also, I used zoomify files for a marina scene (see cedar beach menu box link),..wondering how it works on your end and if I am mising any neccesary code. I also am wondring technically the advantage to using zoomiy over kr4pano multi-res., I'm assuming a quicker load and increased zoom capabilities. What are the file sixe limits(or recommended limits). The marina scene is 55360 x 4235. Below is the code for the zoomify file.

Thanks for your time and great work.

thanks klaus,

Been away a while, that did the trick. Is there a preload command I could use so that the video with play smooth upon it's start. Initially the video sometimes plays jittery...but once cached it runs perfect on the second loop.

ahh,..I'll give it a go,..thank you very much Klaus,..happy holidays
