I have some cases where I want to change just the image within a scene but not the scene itself. For instance, a sunrise animation consisting of a series of panos. Why? I only want one thumbnail to be generated for the set. If loading a new pano requires loading a new scene each of those images ends up getting its own thumbnail. I thought loadpano might accomplish this, including only the image element in the XML file specified by loadpano(). Unfortunately, loadpano seems to wipe out the scene element, though curiously not any hotspots, events, styles or actions contained within the scene. I tried including the scene element in the loadpano XML but that results in a black window and does not load the scene element.
And, I would like a nice crossfade when the image changes....
Is there a way to accomplish this?
