embedpano at fullscreen

[ftrippie]

Hi,

Bit by bit, starting to get the hang of it.
Next question if I may;

I mentioned before that my customer would like 1 viewer and the parameters loaded by XML, which seems to be possible. Now, I would like to design this viewer in Flash with the EmbedPano example. Which seems to work nice and possible. But I also would like to play these tours in standard (mediumsized) mode and fullscreen. The problem I encounter here is that all the buttons and images are resized, when switching to fullscreen. Is there a way to have maps and buttons etc as an overlay in the viewer (flash file) and by switching to fullscreen, having them show without resizing?

I reckon it's a good thing that everything is resizing for making sure that the frame always fits in whatever screensize you're using, but I would like it to be only the frame, not the map and buttons...

Cheers,
FTrippie

hi ftrippie,

simple search on "embedpano" with "fullscreen", and you find this post, containing the fla source with a function to handle what's going to be resized/shown when fullscreen button is pressed :)

Wow, you make me feel soo stupid :-(
I actually saved that file on my desktop after a search last week and thought it might come in handy :-)

In any case, continuing to feel stupid; I see how your FLA works, looks quite good. Just one question, although I think I know the answer.
If I wanted to make a design, with some standard images on the frame, which I don't need to show full screen (as in your example) BUT there is also a map with design background which I WOULD like to show full screen, the only way would be to have all the map parts in the XML right?

Let me explain; the overall design (the frame) is standard for 100+ panos and tours. That could go in the main flash (the green frame in the snow example).
There is a map, specific for every pano/tour, read from XML (works perfectly), but the background-frame of that map, together with some Tab-buttons is standard again, which I would like to have in the overall ('green') frame. How would I go about doing that? Or am I making my life too difficult?

Cheers,

Hi,

I think you can do it, just remember this:

-everything you will declare from xml will be situated over the panorama.

-everything you declare from Fla can be over or on the side of the panorama.

-when you hide/resize pano object from fla, you hide/resize pano and all what's been declared from xml (except elements with particular scaleable mode into xml).

-you can hide/show/resize/reposition individually each element declared in the fla while catching the fullscreen event.

So you can't move/hide your plan if you create it into xml!

If you want to do this, i think the best way is to create it into fla, bu then you have to deal with one plan per pano which can be very confusing...

Good luck! ++
