Pre Sale question: Panotour Pro

Hello,
i downloaded the trial version of Panotour Pro and really like it a lot.

The only question I do have is if it is possible to have an overlay (like in lightbox/thickbox/fancybox, a transparent colored layer over the main panorama image behind the "poped-up" opject) when I do open an object such as an image or html from a hotspot.If it is possible, how can one do it , if not if it is possible to call external lightbox js scripts from a hotspot to open images or html in lightbox/thickbox/fancybox overlay.


Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: Pre Sale question: Panotour Pro

The interface you are talking about can be done with panoramas embedded in word press blogs but not sure if its possible with some extra action scripting in flash.

Re: Pre Sale question: Panotour Pro

digipano, thanks for your reply.

I do know how to open lightbox/thickbox/fancybox from within flash with AS but since the Panotour Pro produces a swf and not a fla i was wondering if it could be done right away from within Panotour Pro interface....or does the regular license produce any fla and the swf output is just a restriction to the trial version?

Further more I saw on krpano.com that one could maybe do something within the xml, but I am not sure about if krpano panorama viewer has any relation with Panotour Pro ,and if it does if the same method onclick call javascript fancybox  would also apply to the xml outputted by Panotour Pro .

Thanks a lot again in advance for further information!

Panotour Pro does not produce FLA output.

Panotour Pro is a GUI front-end/XML code generator for the krpano Flash Panorama Viewer.

Panotour Pro allows the externalisation of the generated XML so you may edit and add to it as you wish.

Re: Pre Sale question: Panotour Pro

mediavets thanks for the fast reply.

So when you say that

Panotour Pro is a GUI front-end/XML code generator for the krpano Flash Panorama Viewer.
Panotour Pro allows the externalisation of the generated XML so you may edit and add to it as you wish..

you confirm that an alternation of the xml like in this post http://www.krpano.com/forum/wbb/index.p … t#post2898
in order to call athickbox or what so ever javascript function would work with the externalised XML of Panotour Pro right?

If yes, my question is fully answered and I will suggest to our project manager to buy Panotour Pro for the project we are on.

Thanks!

I don't know it's beyond my knowledge and skills.

I read that whole thread on the krpano forum. I got the impression that no-one had really got it working completely at least not in fullscreen as well as non-fullscreen modes.

Re: Pre Sale question: Panotour Pro

yes, that's true in fullscreen it does not work and in non-fullscreen it only works if the swf wmode is opaque or transparent, which then of course looses the mousewheel interaction.

....so maybe it would be nice in the future to have a kind of overlay option within the Panotour Pro when opening either an object or html(to choose whether or not to show an overlay,choose color and opacity).

I suggest to visit the KRPano forum: http://www.krpano.com

Because APT is a frontend/GUI to KRPano/KRPanoTools you can find items in KRPano which exceed APT. I use PTP to comfortably build panos resp. tours and use the KRPanoTools to refine what i built using APT.
In the meantine APT included the most relevant features - but some work by using the KRPanoTools.

best, Klaus

It appears that the limitaion may be inherent in Flash and/or something to do with the krpano Panarama Viewer. If that's the case it's not something that Kolor can get around in Panotour

Perhaps a workaround might be to incorporate the 'overlay/lightbox' effect in the image you wish to 'pop-up' from interaction with a hotspot? PTP/krpano will 'respect' transparency in those image formats that support it; for example, PNG?
