Greetings fellow Pano brethren!
I'm lucky not to be "hair-challenged" after pulling it so hard this past couple of days. I'm a big fan of PTViewer, but have noticed that some versions have limitations that affect how a tour must be assembled. Take for example the demo tour we just did for IUSB: http://www.rotopix.com/iusb/tour.html
You'll see hotspots that have text pop up when you mouse over them. This is a function of a newer version of PTViewer. However, this newer version doesn't seem to support the "newPanoFromList" feature the way the older one did. But the older version was not capable of displaying the Text Pop-Ups the way the newer version is.
Let me qualify that by saying I am not a programmer, though I play one on TV. But the only obvious work-around I could find that would offer both functions was to break the tour into multiple pages, one pano per page. This is OK for small tours, but the IUSB tour may encompass as many as 30~40 scenes... Hence, 30~40 pages is not a practical solution, especially if the site gets updated or redesigned at a later date.
Have any of you run across this, and if so, what solution did you end up chosing? Thank you for any feedback. It's truly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Brian Jackson - RotoPix
