Hi

Are you able to describe this plug in a bit more thorough??

Regards
Morten

[Dynamanic]

Customizable MAF with

point to point animated(avatar moves from point a to point g), or sequentially animated(avatar moves from a to b to c .... to g) "you are here" avatar,

Tooltip enabled
Display text when mousing over map hotspot

user loadable map hotspots
load your own images or swfs for each panos hotspot

with optional compass functionality.
Hotspot will rotate with pano

Audio enabled scene description box
(play different audio with each pano load or on first load only. loop mode available)
Description box size is customizable(width, height, background image,etc)

with HotWord capability.
click a word in the description box to pan to a particular object in the scene.


Gui for copy and paste XML coding.
Self explanatory

Optional Thumbnail,
Add thumbnails for each pano

Video Tour Guide
This plugin extension will allow the video player to automate the tour experience, ie. panning and zooming at a particular time in the video. very useful

and Controls plugin extensions.
standards controls for navigating the pano.


This thing is pretty much a swiss army knife. With some imagination, you could do some interesting things with it, due to the ability to load custom media.

the plugin does not work and the support is also not good.

i wrote to dynamanic.com the following - but no support since 2010/03/13

i now played for several hours with the new MAF. And did not get it to work 100%

1) the most difficult now is, if i press the "update xml" button, there is no message created but - the complete xml is with new code. all old code (like some selfmade hotspots) is gone
so its hard to modify it. i thought it was easier with copy&paste. so i did know what happens. better would be, that the update process will only done for the <hotspotmap> tag. also all layers were overwritten and are now hardcoded. not everyone uses the standard layer_7 = files/glassMeter.swf
i have customized glassmeters for each client.

2) the next is, that the paths are hardcoded. so i have to change all the folders of my clients.
why is it not possible to make a config file wich reads the paths for fpp and for client-files and an other for the clients-map-files?
eg. my structure is

- panorama-root
-- files (with all the fpp files are + navigationbuttons)
-- client1
---- client1 images
---- client1 specialsounds
---- client1 specialpreloader or buttons
-- client2
---- client2 images
---- client2 specialsounds
---- client2 specialpreloader or buttons
and so on...
so i only have one time the fpp files on the server and for every new client only new imagefolders or custom preloaders

3) if i open the xml-Generator, there is 3/4 in the top blank with two sliders, the main-application window is very small on the bottom. for what are the two sliders? i donґt know.

4) after creating an area and then the pano 1. if i want to set a navigation-control-hotspot. the map and the hotspot does not appear. there are only blank fields i can move.

5) the documentation is only in text - some screenshots could help to understand the gui better

best regards, marc

Dynamanic is one guy coding out of his house. He just had a new baby, and is struggling to balance family life and work, in addition to running a super duper small software company. The plugin works just fine. I was meaning to put together a video tutorial but haven't found the time. As far as your directory structure...who could have predicted that you would set it up that way. I will be making the changes that you suggested soon. But I must say that this is a great plugin. The problems with the XML Generator are only minor. Stay tuned for an update.
