My first attempt!

I created this hotspot and when I attempt to put it in the pano, it appears to be floating above the pano instead of fitting in like I see on so many examples. Can anyone help? I am pretty sure it is in the development ( or lack thereof) of the .swf file but I don't have a clue how to fix it. Also, the spot seems to float a little to the left of where I position it. I have it set for about the middle of the door. I assume this is due to the way it is floating on top of the picture.

I have put a sample here at http://www.evirtualtours.com/ . The spot has no working links in this example, I just posted something quickly to show on the forum.

thanks, I will try this. Did you notice if you zoom in that the spot does end up about where I placed it on the door?

If I use a different .swf that I borrowed, it places it exactly where I want it and it looks correct. However, I don't have permission to use that .swf so I will not use it online without permission. I have some ethics!

I set zoom="true" and that took care of the floating issue. There is probably still something I could have changed in Flash to correct for the floating issue, but I am still learning. The cordinates did not line up with the hotspot cordinates that I set but it is very possible that my spot may not be cropped perfectly. I may have a little transparent section that throws the spot to the left. Again, first time using flash. I can only imagine what someone with knowledge can create.

VN2009: Thanks for trying. I have the grid now and plan to make good use of it.

Right on the money, Graydon. You and I were having the same thoughts at the same time. Cropped the flash stage, although I thought I had done that(must have been another .swf that I was working on). Cordinates work correctly now and zoom fixed the floating problem.

Still there must be something in flash that takes care of the floating because the other hotspot did not have the floating problem.

P.s. That webpage was only an example and will not be corrected. I will leave it up for a bit just in case someone wants to see what this thread was about.
