I'm sorry I keep coming back to this, if it can't be done then okay.
here is a screen shot of a gallery as a standalone.
Gotten further, loading xml instead of calling a scene, 2 issues now, it says loading on the scree even after the thumbar has been created and the pictures just load over the word loading.
second issue, when I click on the tour map I error out with "loadscene() = scene "scene_floorplan" not found. I thought the merge and blend was to keep everything loaded.
I'm calling it from a hotspot on the tour map.
<hotspot name="spot305" url="skin/vtourskin_mapspotactive.gif" scale="0.25" ath="0.291" atv="0.065" onhover="showtext(1931 American Austin Image Gallery)" onclick="loadpano(images/31americanaustin/imagegallery2.xml,null, MERGE, BLEND(1));" />
here is the gallery code.
<krpano onstart="start();">
<!-- I like the grid cube -->
<preview type="grid(cube,2,1,256,0x000000,0x000000,0x222222);" details="16" />
<!-- include image thumbbar xml script code -->
<include url="../plugins/thumbbar.xml" />
<action name="start">
create_thumbbar(5, right, v, 10,10, 90,60, 6);
thumbbar_addimage('images/KA_001.jpg');
thumbbar_addimage('images/KA_322.jpg');
thumbbar_addimage('images/KA_323.jpg');
thumbbar_addimage('images/KA_324.jpg');
thumbbar_addimage('images/KA_321.jpg');
</action>
</krpano>
okay, I got rid of the loading message by adding the resetkrpano action and changing the hotspot to
<hotspot name="spot305" url="skin/vtourskin_mapspotactive.gif" scale="0.25" ath="0.291" atv="0.065" onhover="showtext(1931 American Austin Image Gallery)" onclick="resetkrpano();loadpano(images/31americanaustin/imagegallery2.xml, nul, MERGE, BLEND(1));" />
I get the same error with the addition of the warning unknown action hideintro image
So what am I doing wrong?
