Hello Denis,
I am spending a lot of time evaluating your viewer. So far I think it has plenty of promise. I own and operate a Virtual Tour company called Be There 360. http:bethere360.com.
I am developing a new product that will include a flash panorama viewer
and you certainly have my attention for using your product.
You can see an example of my demo so far at http:bethere360.com/flashtest/test2/fullpage.html.
(Use Firefox, IE7 not working yet)
I thought I would give you some feedback on a few issues and problems.
1. I really believe the 6 cube implementation is a time drain. If I am doing 6 tours per day and 6 panos per tour I spend a ton of time just converting equirectangular images into cube faces and then renaming them to your format. Please, please, PLEASE implement a equirectangular input to eliminate the time drain as well as multiple files required to be on the server. Obviously this is also a time drain on the ftp upload process.
2. I am not able to use the imageloader from flash. Firefox Crashes on loading if I use this object.
3. Dynamic text is working much better since I converted from loadVariables to loadVars. The loadVars is much better as I can implement a "onload" method to make certain the variables are loaded before using them.
4. I can not get the IE7 browser to work yet. I have to spend more time with this to find out why. Perhaps you have some insight???
5. The panos have a wavy effect going on. I am not sure if this is related to the quality settings. I am using "10" for speed.
6. I found your HotSpots review absolutely invaluable to get started. Perhaps you can implement more tutorials to get us novices up to speed?
7. Keep up the great work! I am truly excited about this great viewer.
Walt :D
