Hi,
I'm having hard time with inserting my tour to a website. When I publish it (Tourweaver 6.50) to Flash VR (swf) it doesn't generate any html file to it, and as a not really advanced HTML user I know only how to simply embed the swf file in html, but I have no knowledge using the Param codes etc.

So when i put it in this simple form the preloader and LoadingWindow is not working when the VT is loading.
My .swf file is almost 20MB so I really need the progress bar indicating that something is actually working properly.

here it is http://studio-360.pl/miasteczkodzieci

Can someone please help with the HTML??

I have no problem using the normal Flash VR, but I want to have the virtual tours in one .swf file.
I think the deal is to use some Params and FlashVars but I'm too confused with the JavaScript and other parameters in generated project file of the normal Flash VR tour to know what and how to do it.

I wish Easypano team will add generating html file while publishing a Flash VR(swf) in Tourweaver.

Had the same question directed to the EP support, they told me swf is not for uploading to servers, mainly for watching on local devices.

good luck

Well, i guess - this is because there's nothing to load.
If You use .swf, then all the resources, including scene images, videos, etc... are embedded. And you have to wait for the whole file (swf) to load.
In contrast, if you use normal flash vr, then the swf file is releatively small, it loads very fast and it can do preloading of other resources just after few seconds.
Swf is also a good thing, but for the different purposes. Sometimes i use it when i need to embed tour into other applications.
If You really need to have everything in swf and want to show a progressbar, then you have to create a flash/flex preloader - usually a small swf application which loads your tour swf (while showing progress) and executes it. But i would not recomend it, because with flash vr you have caching, preloading and other good things.

Best wishes,

Easypano only recently introduced self contained .swf format and the reason for it was for people who wanted to integrate into a Flash based Action Script 3 website or project. It is also suitable for CD delivery and sending "proofs" via email.

For publishing to .html web the traditional multi-file _flash format is best.

That said, Easypano "should" be able to make the pre-loader work correctly with the single self contained .swf flash file. There are other panorama compilers out there that do this.
