Hi Klaus and Co,
Is there any way to pull the Scene name for the pano being displayed via the AS3 Interface? Just looking for a simpler way to identify and reference each panorama in a group of different types of panos (cyl, sphere, cube, multi-res, etc...)
Although I can get the data on each scene via scene[index], I can't seem to find the method to determine which scene is currently being shown.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Robert,
Just my two bits, but it looks like the aliasing problem you are running into could be minimized if your source image was resized so that the final tilewidths/tileheights for each level were 3072, 1536, & 768. Flash does a much better job of dynamically resizing images if the pixel width and height of the image can be divided by 2 because the mipmap function in the flash player (v9 and up) will automatically be utilized. For info on mipmap goto http://www.kaourantin.net/2007/06/mip-map-what.html and at http://www.kaourantin.net/swf/mipmap.html you can see the difference a mipmap makes in Flash 9 and later

Thanks...
That's what I wound up doing... This new scene tag is very helpful, but its got my brain wanting the scene element to be treated similar to a plug-in so that I can have multiple scenes loaded as z-order layers in the viewer and be able to adjust the alpha on each scene as needed. Anyone else looking for this same function???
Thanks.
Lee
Yup, same thing... Sorry for the duplicate post.
Quick off-topic response... Plug-in was originally from http://flashden.net/item/full-screen-xml-gallery-vrt-v1/9091 that I ported to AS3 and made some mods on. If you need more details just send me a email or message

Hi Klaus & Co.
I didn't see this in the doc and it doesn't seem to work...
Is there an alpha setting on the new <scene> tag on Beta7? I'm Looking to programatically decrease/increase the alpha on the loaded pano from a Flash plug-in. I'm trying to hide the pano when I have my plug-in showing a window in the foreground that I'd like the users to see. To hide the current pano, I load and blend in a new scene with a blank and transparent .png as the pano and then do my plug-in window. When the plug-in is done, I reload and blend in the original scene and starting my pano from the same spot I left off.
Just looking for some simpler code and having the alpha setting on the scene may do the job...
Thanks

Just thought I'd pass along this link to the Google Analytics for Flash
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics…ckingIntro.html
I've have this running inside of my krpano portfolio plug-in at http://cleartours.com/portfolio that tracks which pano people select. Its very helpful and Its easy for me to see how much time people are spending on each one of the panos.

Awesome!!!
A new Krpano and AutoPano Beta for the weekend... Who could ask for anything more
Thanks Klaus!!!
Lee
Hmmm.....
Sounds like you see a different jerking that what I see on my computer...
Just so I'm making an equal comparison... Is the Pano at http://www.panoramiques-photo.fr/amiens/ a tiled multi-resolution image? From what I know about FPP, it doesn't support Multi-res images right now (Go Klaus!!) All the Panos on my site at http://cleartours.com/portfolio are configured as tiled Multi-res images. Sorry if this is a repeat in the Thread, but perhaps the jerking you see in the FPP vs krpano is more of a tiled multi-res vs single-res image issue. (Just a thought)
Also, when debugging this problem, have you tried putting the krpano viewer within in a fixed size Div tag to see if the same jerking characteristics across all of the computers you have when the actual pixel dimensions are identical within the browser window?

Hey everyone,
Regarding the jerky movement on the pan... When it jerks is it more like a "flicker" similar to a tv that has a "not all the way tuned in" interlacing flicker? Here's why I ask...
Reading the thread, its pretty clear that its not a processing power issue as people here have some pretty heavy duty machines.... I currently have a Quad Core Running Vista 64 with 4Gb, 2 video cards, and 3 monitors hooked up to it. 2 of the monitors are..... Samsung 226BW (2ms response) and a Sceptre X20 (5ms response). The Samsung and Sceptre are both running at 1680x1050, both plugged in via DVI to a single Evga/Nvidia 9800GT card.....
Given this... When I open one of my panos at http:/cleartours.com/portfolio in a 1024x768 IE7 window and have it span horizontally across the Samsung and the Sceptre monitor so that there are about equal parts of the IE7 window on each monitor.... It is VISABILLY noticable that the portion of the IE7 window being displayed on the Samsung pans smoother and jerks/flickers less than the portion of the IE7 window being displayed on the Sceptre Monitor. Very similar results using Mozilla as well.
Just something to consider...

Thanks Klaus!!! Those are the missing pieces I was looking for that will make this work.

Hi All,
I've got a multi-resolution still image configured as a partial cylindrical pano at http://dev.cleartours.com/krstill/krpano.swf that I'd like to have centered and zoomed in as much as possible without cropping the image. I've set the image hfov to 1, but I can't seem to figure out the correct calculation to determine the VIEW fov to get the maximum zoom for any given image without cropping it. I've figured out that for this image to center it vertically without cropping vertically requires a VIEW fov of .67, but that was determined through trial and error.
Any help on determining the formula would be fantastic.
Thanks

Hi,
...
currently it's not possible to use Virtual Earth,
but if you want to try to implement it, I can give you the Googlemaps plugin sources for free
...
Hi Klaus,
Can I take you up on your offer regarding the availability of the source code to port the radar to Virtual Earth? I've got a project coming up that needs the oblique views of Virtual Earth and it would be great to get the radar going as well. Drop me a message is that's an option.
Thanks

Keith,
This one was a bit of a puzzle, but try this in your krpano.xml file... It works for me using krpano 1.0.7 and I think it does what you're looking for.
<krpano version="1.0.7">
<display .... />
<image..... />
<view... />
<autorotate enabled="true" horizon="0" accel="10"/>
<plugin visible="true" enabled="true" handcursor="false" capture="false" name="clickcheck" url="blank10x10.png" width="100%" height="100%" onClick="action(norotate);" />
<action name="norotate">
set(autorotate.enabled,false);
removeplugin(clickcheck);
</action>
</krpano>blank10x10.png is just an empty image file with a transparent background that is stretched across the entire krpano instance as a plug-in. As soon as the plug-in is clicked, it disables the autorotate and unloads itself. You need to configure autorotate for your delay and the point to rotate to.
Hope this helps

Hello Klaus & Co.
Is it possible to "hide" a krpano window via the Javascript API after its been embedded into a HTML page? Such as sending a call to the KRpano Flash object to set visible=false?
Currently I can hide a KRpano instance off the screen by changing the css class assigned to the KRpano object in html, but the screen flickers a bit as the browser relocates the krpano object.
For example, after initializing the Krpano instance with the id of krpanoswf running in the browser window my application calls the following functions to show or hide the krpano object on the screen...
<script>
function showkrpano() {
var swf = document.getElementById("krpanoswf");
swf.call("breakall();freezeview(false);");
swf.classname = "show_krpano";
}
function hidekrpano() {
var swf = document.getElementById("krpanoswf");
swf.call("breakall();freezeview(true);");
swf.classname = "hide_krpano";
}
</script>the swf.classname referenced in the functions are in an external viewer.css file with the following definitions
.show_krpano {
position: absolute;
width: 660px;
height: 436px;
left: 1px;
top: 1px;
padding-top:0;
padding-left:0;
}
.hide_krpano {
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
height: 1px;
left: 2000px;
top: 2000px;
padding-top:0;
padding-left:0;
}If there is a better way to do this, I'd love to know how.
Thanks for your help. Keep up the good work!

Hi Klaus,
Congratulations on getting the 1.0.7 out the door! Once again I'm loving what I see so far! Thanks for putting together a great solution for linking to stills from within the Panos.
Looking forward to putting this new version to use!
