What does JavaScripter API stand for? What is its usage in Tourweaver?

API means Application Program Interface. In the Skin Panel, users can control the tours by clicking on text links, images or HTML form elements such as buttons or drop-down lists. Besides, the JavaScripter API allows you to control the panoramas or virtual tours from outside the viewer applet. If you are familiar with image mapping, you can map a floor plan which can intuitionisticly indicate the exact location of the presenting image. The API also allows you to customize your own 'controls skin', remote and completely separate from the viewer skin.

The parameters set in the applet code are static values - they are applied when the applet is first loaded. Their functions are to instruct the applet to "do this…" when it first loads. For example, the parameters tell the browser which panorama to load and where to find it, what the frame rate should be, whether to pan left or right, etc. On the other hand, the API grants you an approach to override these parameters. It offers you the user dynamic values that can be changed from within a web page.
