ExternalInterface controller

[ironman]

Hi all,

I have a flash interface with complex animated map, buttons and pictures I need to merge with 80 panoramas linked together. My question is: what is the best approach to link interface with panoramas?

1) put swf interface INSIDE FPP. I discarded this since it loose quality during rotation. Am, I right?
2) put FPP INSIDE the inteface project (without success, but I think there is same quality problem during rotation)
3) put both interface and FPP INSIDE an HTML page and use ExternalInterface controller to make them communicate each other. I followed the ExternalText example but seem that interface need to be putted inside FPP panorama AND html page in order to run correctly.

Can You suggest the best approach?

Thx.

Hi,

I'm currently producing a similar thing (but with a far more expensive solution, not with FPP), and my approach is to load the panorama player into my own flash project via actionscript, and build the interface on top of it. It allows more cool effects and interactivity between the interface and the panorama than loading 2 swf in a HTML page. It works great but some performance issues.

I'm interested to try FPP and see if it produce better results, but I don't see any trial version anywhere...

Aifos,
A little off-topic, but how do you manage to take a panorama on this crowded beach and and have no blurred movement on the people around? How many shots did you take to create the panorama? 6+2?
Thanx
