Welcome to the forum...

If you are really using Autopano Tour you should upgrade to Panotour or Panotour Pro.

Anyway...back to your question...

What is the application/purpose of this project?

How will it be used?

Would be it be enough simply to make a simple web page with links to the separate tours?

You mean such a thing? http://www.360impressions.de/TourMW.html
It can be saved on CD, USB-stick or so and played from that medium.

Simply build a html site, generate a html window and import the .swf file into the window.
The swf file scales to the size of the html window automatically.

Re: ATP Help Please - CD ROM Tour

See... I'm so new, I don't even know what software I'm using. I have Panotour Pro and have noticed that it will get rather difficult to link the number of pano/pic/video links required to tour a very large facility. I had thought I would section them and link from a map. Can the software link to multiple flash files?

OK.

and have noticed that it will get rather difficult to link the number of pano/pic/video links required to tour a very large facility.

How many panos, images and videos are we talking about?

Technically it won't be difficult for the software to handle but perhaps you mean that as an author it might be difficult to keep track of the resources and links between them?

I had thought I would section them and link from a map. Can the software link to multiple flash files?

You could do this several ways. Two come to mind straight away which I think would work:

1. Create a Web page with the map and then link to the various 'sub-tours' from that.

2. Create a 'master tour' with a map and link to the separate 'sub-tours' from that (you could have a link back too of course in each 'sub-tour', and links between them if you wish). You would use an HTML template for each tour and link from the map to those HTML files rather than to the SWF (for optimal performance you wouldn't choose to embed all in the SWF anyway).

I strongly suggest not to build tours of more than 15 nodes. Peoiple get tired and confused when there are too much nodes in a tour.
We used here http://www.360impressions.de/TourMW.html our max. amount of panos in a tour. That´s enough i mean.

A way to show more would be to make themes - one tour per theme . . . so it´s more comfortable and provides a better orientation to the viewer.
I´m absolutely against maps, tons of icons and signs in a pano - nobody needs them todays and it´s more irritating than helpful.
Less is more.

What do you mean exactly saying: "Can the software link to multiple flash files?"
