2004-02-23 Thread Ian Johnson
Hi, I'm looking at a DirectorMX/MX2004 project that requires vr panos. I've pushed the Quicktime route for superior quality but my client is unwilling, as staff aren't allowed to install progs. I've looked at iPix route and the xtra for Director, but the quailty of iPix panos are not great

Chris/Kevan, thanks for the replies. The check/load test is something I use all the time with video or other large bits of media. But that ain't the prob: There seems to be a delay with not only putting the 3d member on the stage but switching antialiasing on/off produces the same delay.

Yeah, I tried setting the value of the input=file attribute but to no avail. It only works if the user physically selects a file (as you would expect). Anyone know of a method to bring a file into the shockwave safe folder without sending it up to the server then bringing it back down? (using
