For some reason, my pano only loads 1 or 2 sides of the cube in Windows/IE, but it will load completely in OSX/Safari (although it does report 1 error). Anyone know why it does this? Also, is there a size limit to the pictures that it can handle?

Here is the link to a sample pano: http://its.swau.edu/share/panos/pechero/pechero.swf

In that same folder (http://its.swau.edu/share/panos/pechero/) you will see the cube sides. These sides were rendered from Realviz Stitcher into a "Cubical Image" I have the following types available:

Cylindrical QTVR
Cubic QTVR
Pure Player Cylindrical
Pure Player Cubical
Pure Player Spherical
Cylindrical Image
Cubical Image
Snapshot Image
Spherical Image
VRML

The error I'm getting in Windows pops up in an Adobe Flash Player 9 window:

ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData/get width()
at CubePanorama/loadContent()
at CubePanorama/loadComplete()

Any ideas?

The movie link is http://its.swau.edu/share/panos/pechero.mov

It is 50MB and 1024x768 (I'm rendering some smaller ones). However, again, it works fine on my Mac, but not Windows (XP/IE7). One of my first attempts several months ago (http://its.swau.edu/share/panos/rotunda.mov) is much smaller and works fine on both platforms.

Flash can not in any way handle sizes like this.
I am really surprised that I was able to see 2 cubefaces in my Safari om my G5
What Mac do you have which is able to show this.

The maximal size for cubefaces with Flash is around 3400x3400
Thats what I tested on my MacBook Pro 17.
You have 7438x7438

You need max 2000x2000 for a good flash fullscreen panorama.
Most of us use 1200x1200 to 1600x1600

Panos using 6 cubic faces

8191 x 8191 pixels 2 of 6 images load in browser.
7000 x 7000 pixels 4 of 6 images load in browser.
6700 x 6700 pixels 4 of 6 images load in browser.
6650 x 6650 pixels 5 of 6 images load in browser.
6603 x 6603 pixels 5 of 6 images load in browser.
6602 x 6602 pixels 6 of 6 images load in browser.

Equirectangular and Cylindrical images

8192x???? - And bigger do not load

Sounds about right that 1-2 faces show up.
