You cannot use flash to display "spherical panorams". I have heard of some stitching software that is now offering a "flash viewer" but I have not tested it.
But that doesn't really matter considering what you are doing.
You just need to construct your coding flow chart to include pure html pages for the panos. An autoplay CD is no different than any html page from the internet except that you are not restricted by file size/qualtiy.
You can go pure flash like you said but simply build the pano pages using only flash elements. It will look the same to the user. Just isolate the pano coding to its own section.
If it was me I would build the "presentation interface" in flash like you said and then build the tours seperatly and call them from the flash buttons to a pop up window where they can simply navigate the tour images through this window. Then when they are done with the tours images they close the window and are back to the main flash page/layout.
Flash is great and a very powerful presentation tool but the most elegant and successful presentations have a simple design that is easy on the eyes and not too busy. The old saying "less is more" really applies in this case. Be careful about making your presentation too "busy".
