embedded data question

When i want to give ONE embedded data swf to my client - how can i edit the autorotation´s speed?

two clients already complained that they feel very uncomfortable by the fast speed of autorotation.

here´s an example using external data - but i can´t take away the ugly button. And i DON´T WANT to ue exertnal data - i want to deliver ONE swf-file to the client. The rotationspeed here is ok - i set it to 4 instead of the default set 10.

Yes - usually there´s a button to start/stop the autorotation.
The last test i used the new APT beta and it´s gone.
But i can´t edit the rotation speed when all data are embedded in ONE swf file instead of seperate files/folders.

I would like to deliver only ONE swf to the client.

Klaus,

I agree that it would be good for APT to offer more control over autorotation - here's what Pano2VR offers:

Hi Andrew!

I found a solution - but only using seperated files. I´d like to embed all fils in one swf.

look here:  http://www.360impressions.de  http://www.360impressions.de/gelblich.swf

best to you, Klaus

Re: embedded data question

One solution I can think of is not to embed within APT instead have xml files generated where you edit the auto rotation speed manually & then use "Kprotect" (separate product) to embed all, that way you will have control of many things.

APT is moving towards being a full GUI for karpano but its far way behind in its GUI+features yet, the APT developer team will need a tighter & faster integration of krpano feature in its GUI.

Re: embedded data question

Kprotect may indeed be an answer - more info here:

hi digi!

I did what you suggested - but the sound is gone . . .

It´s not clear how to use the "protect" - they ask for the "start file" . . which one is it? There are two xml files, one of it is called xxx0.xml the other has xxx.xml
which one is the "start" file i have to put into "protect"?

best, Klaus

Re: embedded data question

As regards to property parameters you want to modify and embedd in one swf file, like <autorotate> (or <display> or <control> by the way), you can use menu templates.

Menu templates are pieces of xml code which will be included in all your visits, originally designed to design your own menu, but you can modify them to fit your needs while we are working on an all GUI tour maker.

The only thing you have to do is to create your own menu template and include the xml properties in it. Here is an example of the rotation.xml file where we have set the autorotation speed to 10° pers sec (see doc on krpano site : http://www.krpano.com/docu/xml/#autorotate) :

Code:

<menu>
    <plugin name="autorotation" url="graphics/btn_autorotation.png" blendmode="screen" keep="true" align="bottom" x="0" y="$(MARGIN)" onclick="switch(autorotate.enabled);" onover="set(blendmode,add);" onout="set(blendmode,screen);"/>
    <autorotate enabled="true" 
            waittime="1.0" 
            accel="5" 
            speed="10" 
            horizon="20" 
            tofov="150" 
            />
</menu>

Using this menu template, you will be able to generate only one swf file (with 'embedd all' checked), where you control the autorotate speed.

Re: embedded data question

Hi Adrien!

Thanks for your advice! But: how and where can i add this part to the xml when i render an embedded swf-file which contains ALL in ONE?

I´m absolutely new to xml editing - but i got a good advice rom Klaus (KRPano) already how to edit the rotation speed by adding the sequence you showed.

Another suggestion was to render seperate files in APT, edit the speed (or other items) and after that using KR-Protect to make a single swf from it.

Works well - but it´s not possible to keep integrated sound that way.

best, Klaus

This means, once you modified those files, you won't need to do all your steps : exporting XML, edit them, embedd files in swf with kprotect, because it will be done in the software.

Step 1:
Menu templates are located in the install directory of Autopano Tour:
For Windows : C:/Programmes Files/Kolor/Autopano Tour/Templates/menu/
Mac (Ctrl click on app, display application package) : MacOs/Templates/menu/
There you'll find those files:
fullscreen-rotation.xml
fullscreen.xml
graphics/
navigation-fullscreen-rotation.xml
navigation-fullscreen.xml
navigation-rotation.xml
navigation.xml
rotation.xml
Which you can edit as I previously explained.

Step 2 :
then in APT application : Project properties > Interface > Template : use your own template and export your project. (And check 'Embedd all' if needed)
You will have your visit with a custom autorotate speed.

The advantage of this method is that you only have to do Step 1 once, and then you can reuse the same template every time you need it with Step 2 without further xml hacking.

Warning :
Concerning sound embedding : it is just not possible to embedd mp3 in one swf file. This is just a flash limitation and we can't handle it.
However there is a workaround if you REALLY need to have embedded sounds :
-Export them in swf with a dedicated soft.
-Design a very tiny, or invisible hotspot.
-Include your invisible hotspot in your visit.
-Link your sound swf file to this invisible HS.
The sound will be played immediately after the hotspot is loaded, loop endlessly (if the swf file is an endless loop), and you won't be able to stop it, nor to restart it.
There is no guarantee, this hack will work in future versions of krpano or APT.

--Edit:
Those two last posts of mine, refering to menu templates, are only valid for latests beta versions of APT, else you'll have to manually edit your xml files and re-embedd them afterward.

Make sure you are using the latest version of APT - V 1.1 beta 6 - available from here:
http://www.autopano.net/forum/p51122-20 … -52#p51122

Then under the Edit menu you'll find the option Open Templates Directory.

You have to edit the xml files to set the autorotation-speed and other things.
APT doen´t let you fine-tune your tour.
I suggest to buy the KRPano unlimited version - with the KRPano-Tools it contains a bunch of additional features, but definitely
demands some xml skills.

best, Klaus

Thats flash imposed restriction so I convert sound MP3 to swf using MP3toswf converter then you can embed sound (swf) without any problems.
