initial saturation

[Virtualguide]

Is it possible to start a pano with initial value of brightness=-1 before loading 6 cube faces? if I use onload, onstart commands, the color cubefaces are loaded and just then brightness is changed.

(I do not wnat to use disableLoading=1 and loading panoramas with onStart, because it makes problems when I want to load another xml file.)
Thanks a lot.

Well,

brightness=-1 is a hotspots command, and the earliest time you can execute a hotspots command is in the onStart event, which fires directly after the hotspots plugin is loaded. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

But the Debug Player shows that a brightness command in the onStart event is executed long after the pano starts loading and all hotspots in the xml file are parsed. So I think the pano will be displayed before the brightness command is executed.

Maybe there is another way.

I can imagine the loading of blank black images in beginning will do the trick and give you a freedom to play with xml later

ok, maybe in this particular case it would be helpful, still I am not sure what would be loaded first. But still, this woiuld be not the solution, I would like to use saturation init vauses also...
Hm...

you can add a pano tag between your global tags with your brightness value, ie...

<global >

<pano brightness="-1" />

</global>

problem now of course, is that every pano will start w/ a negative brightness. but since I gather you're using different xmls(?) that may not be that big of a deal.
