QTVR files are your best bet for showing panoramas within LiveCode unless you know the 3D plugin well. The side-scroller approach is only going to work if your panoramas have a very low vertical field of view - just long thin strips. Even then, distortion will be visible where horizontal features are visible in the image. > 2) And for web delivery of Panos?

Either KRPano plus the iOS plugin or http://gardengnomesoftware.com/pano2vr.php which will convert you panoramas into QTVR/Flash and iOS files in one go. > In a stack one could possibly put multiple buttons side by side and then set > their image data to the same image and set up a scroller... but it would be > hard to do hot spots. if you want to click on the bird and have an audio > play... in a sixth iteration of the photo to the right, the bird is a > different bird even if it looks the same to the viewer. hmmm > > If anyone had a script for causing a photo to move left and right as the > mouse approached the edge of the stack window.. that would be helpful too. Again, that's not going to help with most panoramas as they will look distorted.
