Take the following sample as an example: http://www.easypano.com/Gallery/Tourweaver400/test/TourWeaver_Project5.html 1. Start the virtual tour and let's suppose the movie auto run to Point A of Scene 1. You click on the scene to stop it. At this time, the movie is already considered to be interrupted and paused because of your manual interruption. 2. You drag it to Point B, where there is a hotspot. Click on B, and it enters Scene 2 and you drag it to Point C. 3. Now you dont want to manually rotate it anymore, so you click Play/Pause Movie to let it resume automatically. 4. What you want is to let it start from C and go ahead, but you find it starts from A.
Here is your question: why does the movie re-start from the very beginning but not from C? Answer: Because the movie was actually interrupted and paused at A. The interactive operation from B to C is done by people. When you resume the movie, it has to start from where it was interrupted.
Question 2: I have entered Scene 2, and dont want to go back to Scene 1, why cannot the movie resume from C where I drag it to? Answer: If we can make the movie not go back to Scene1, but re-start from C, I have some questions for you to help us on how to make the movie go ahead. 1). As you know, movie is a preset path. For a preset path, the program can easily judge where it stops and know how to resume it after interruption. But the operation from B to C was done by people, if the movie resumes from C, which is not in a preset path, what should be the next step? Turn right, left, zoom in or zoom out? 2) Suppose Scene 2 is included in the default Movie, and point C is also included in the preset frames of the movie. Then the program may resume from the frame where C is. What if Scene 2 or Point C is not at all included in the movie you set? You know you can select part of the scenes for a movie, and also you can limit the pan of any scene.
Maybe what you need is not a Play/Pause Movie action, but another action to Auto Play Scene after manual interruption? Please let me know.
