OK - so I have to wait until Thomas solved this point.
Thanks for your help.

My latest Test worked...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for this; great work and really useful feature. Thanks!

Hi,
First of all thanks for all the work and great results with the 'Fullscreen fall back to flash'.... I seem to have gotten it work fairly well, but I have a couple of questions to persons that know way more about this than I.
My question is... my 'fall back .swf' file has sound and the sound doesn't play when the 'fall back' flash file is called in Firefox and Opera (on a Mac... I don't have a PC) and on Safari on my Mac I get only the html5 version and not the 'flash' version. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm not very experienced with html, let alone html5. Maybe my question should be is it possible to call the flash file and have its sound played as well.
I'll keep working on it
Here is a link that is on my server but not 'too' public yet cause I'm still trying to figure this all out.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi
This should work fine, are the MP3 files in the same folder as the SWF and XML files?

Hopki

Hopki,
Yes the mp3 file is in the same folder as the .swf, all the files are in the same folder, all the .js, .xml, and the xsfp player .swf
Is there anything else that I should check?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim
OK, the Html5/Css3 html page does not have the xsfp player so will not work, you will need the skin editor or sound editor to control sound.

Thanks, I will look through the tutorials to see how to get the skin editor to play sound. I have played around with the skin editor before but not in the area of sound. I'll have a look.
Thanks again,
Jim

Hopki,
Thanks again. I did in fact add sound via the sound editor instead of using the flash option. It now seems to work just fine. I now can view the html5 file on the iPhone, and when I click the link in Firefox, Chrome and Opera I get the Flash Pano... but when I click the link in Safari on my Mac I get the html5 file. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be that way or not, and am wondering if I still have some small thin amiss. Is Safari supposed to view an html5 file 'first' if both flash and another html5 option is available, or is there some 'tweak' needed for Safari so that it views the 'flash' file first... or does it simply not matter? Other than that (and it is not a problem simply an observation) you and everyone else's help have been tremendous. Now all i have to do is start changing all my other panos on my other site so they can be viewed with html5...it might take a while:-(
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim
I have already brought this up, at the moment we are detecting Safari, so Safari on PC, Mac or iPad,iPhone etc.
I cant remember where that conversation ended as was in the middle of brining out beta 4 and I had already given Thomas enough to do so this was moved to one side. I will re visit this with Thomas, but I seem to remember there was a good reason for it.......

Possibly it needs to detect also by Safari resolution I.E: larger than "x" pixel resolution = display Flash, under "x" pixel resolution display with Safari html5

Hi
@ Smooth and Jim
Beta 5 now has a tick box for Prefer Flash and to use all the browser window.
If Flash is detected regardless of browser, the fall back SWF is used.

This is a great improvement.
Funny how the "Fullscreen" option is within the "Normal" template options.
Had me looking for a second or three!

You will also find a borderless option in the Flash Full Screen template,
Had any chance to play with masking yet?

Hmm, yes I had tried that but it doesn't work as good as my own template. This release shows a white line at the bottom as soon as you zoom with mouse scroll wheel. - and while I'm talking bugs the HTML5 shows tile joins at certain tilt angles using large tiles which needs attention.

I tested it the first time for a tuition client and checked out the new margin markers with V3 B5 release which is better.
Personally I have never had a need or want for such a feature, but I know there are others who do.

Hi Smooth
Thanks for the info, you use Opera right?
