Hi, I'm looking for the best 360VR panorama implementation with fp8. Does anybody know of any opensource(or commercial) component which handles cylindrical view (though cubic would be even better). It has to support hotspots, and trigger "scroll" events (so a radar-like ground plan can be used to

Hi! I have done a project where I am using lots of masks using the setMask() property. I'm taking advantage of the new "cacheAsBitmap" feature in Flash 8. For some users the mask loses its features and gets visible. My conclusion is that this happens for users with a resolution lower than 32 mil
