flash panorama player

Hi there:

Just a quick note to link you to the new version of PanoSalado, which is Flash 10 native!

It is zippy, clean, and can display "multi-resolution" tiled panoramas. See the demo and read the official blog for more info!

The next version of SpinControl:VR will be tailor made for use with PanoSalado 2.

Cheers,

Patrick

Hey there:

In an effort to localize information regarding the current crop of Flash based panorama players, and since some of the developers don't have forums (or ones that exist are clunky, spammy or broken), I have widened the focus over at flashpanos.com.

From their site:

"FACE ON is an interactive online and offline exhibition exploring the future of the portrait.
There are more than 600 available spots to upload and hang your images, within the 16 categories of show."

Folks using Flash Panorama Player ("FPP") may be interested in the following two free plugins posted to flashpanos.com.

Rick Workman created the plugins for his own work and has offered them to the community at large.

1) The video player plugin plays linear media files (.flv and .swf) under XML control in FPP. Its main use is for playing transition movies between pans.

Here's an impressive set of panoramas, showing how Tokyo lights up for the holidays:

Enjoy!

When I was in New York City a couple months ago, shooting iPhone stitches of the Empire State, I was also shooting panoramas for a client:

L'Occitane en Provence

This is the version for the USA site; the French version should be done soon, and will appear on L'Occitane's localized site.

The dropdown menu you'll see there is a modification of a plugin I created for use with Flash Panorama Player.

I've created the infrastructure over at flashpanos.com for a comprehensive "book" of Flash Panorama Player documentation. This book will endeavor to provide "plain english" descriptions of each object, element and parameter available to FPP -- along with concrete XML and/or code examples for each entry.

We've begun the laborious task of writing the documentation:

See an example page here.

Some of this will be based from existing documentation, some is reworded/reworked, some is from experience and/or from scratch. The idea isn't to replicate existing FPP documentation, but to rework and expand it.

Anyone who wishes to help out is encouraged to contact me! Whether you contribute one entry or several, you will be hugely helping to create an online resource which is available to all, in an easy-to-search (and update) format.

I've created a central repository for plugins, tutorials & other knowledge about Flash Panorama Player, since the forum-style structure of the user contributed knowledge at FPP's forum is a little sketchy when you're looking for something in particular, and not really an efficient way to offer updates and support for plugins you've made.
