Hi Mike, the version of TW3 that you have is the most up to date. I always have issues when publishing in Java and now only use Flash.

I experienced exactly the same issues as you had even hotsposts sometimes dissapearing. It is a shame as the quality of the panos in Java seem to be slightly better than in Flash however on the whole Flash is far more stable.

I know this doesn't help but you have my ear of sympathy :)

Hi, mike.

Currently, there is no such action like "Hide/show controller & the thumbs" in Tourweaver. But if you want to achieve the effect similar to hiding thumbs & controller, I suggest you use popup window. See a sample virtual tour: click on Thumb button to pop up the thumbnail, click it again, the thumbnail will disappear. Hope it helps.

Best regards,
Carolyn 

Hi, Mike!
Yes you are right. The effect Carolyn mentions is only available in TW 4.0.

Hi, Mike!
I really do not know all the differences between the "Standard" and the "Pro" version in TW4.0. The one I know is the possiblity of editing the loading window, as usual in prior versions, but I think there have to be others. Check it. In my case the possibility of having the pop up windows fading in and out and with them the thumbnails and all other windows you want to create, was worth to upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0
