You need to copy the xml code in this thread which is your compass.xml code, and past it into your main xml file..

Hi... I have checked our your xml code and it seems to be fine but something is wrong for it not to work..

Try copying and pasting this replacing your compass xml code...

Strange.. You only needed the code on the main xml file. Its a hierarchy code, meaning it effects all of the other xml files.. If however you need it only to be on one Tour.... you simply add the compass code to that xml file so none of the other Tours will have it.. .. It doesn't really matter with this code as long as you have it working I guess..

Hi friends I have a problem with the compass code again....
here it is: http://www.helivizyon.com/build/virtualtour.html
Iahve this code on virtualtour.xml file
I havent touched the other xml files.
set heading value is 15 but compass shows different directions on every panorama... cant figure it why and how?

code:
<!--************** COMPASS ***************************************************************-->
<events onxmlcomplete="startup();"
onviewchange="rotatecompasses();"
/>

<!-- show info, set heading, create hotpots -->
<action name="startup">
<!-- SET HEADING -->
set(heading, 15);
</action>

<!-- change the rotation of the compass pointer / compass plate image -->
<action name="rotatecompasses">
sub(plugin[compass_pointer].rotate, heading, view.hlookat);
sub(plugin[compass2_plate].rotate, heading, view.hlookat);
</action>

<!-- compass with rotating pointer -->
<plugin name="compass" url="compassimages/compass.png" keep="true" zorder="1" children="false"
align="lefttop" x="10" y="10"
scale="0.5" scalechildren="true"
destscale="1.0"
onclick="switch(destscale,1.0,0.5);tween(scale,get(destscale));"
heading="0"
/>

<!-- compass pointer, the rotation will be changed in the "onviewchange" action -->
<plugin name="compass_pointer" url="compassimages/compass_pointer.png" keep="true" handcursor="false"
parent="compass" zorder="1"
align="center"
/>

<!-- compass glass cap (flash only, because there is no blendmode in html5) -->
<plugin name="glass" devices="flash" url="compassimages/glass.jpg" keep="true" enabled="false"
blendmode="screen" alpha="0.5"
parent="compass" zorder="2"
align="center"
/>

Hi... My advise is to rollover to using PTP V2... Its has many Compass graphics which can be edited.. There are not a lot more options open to you now...
