First of all sorry for my English (I'm Italian) and congratulations for the program!

I did some .mov panoramas and put them on web-pages. When saving them in PF4.1 I choose "Auto-rotate" option and I verified panoramas really auto-rotate. But now, when I visit the pages on the net, panoramas don't auto-rotate or auto-rotate only after I reload the page for 4/5 times. Instead, If I view pages off-line panoramas auto-rotate every time, even at first loading. Why?

There is no need to apologize--your English is excellent!

PF's auto-rotate for MOV format is done by adding Javascript code to the web page. If you disable Javascript through the Internet Options command in Internet Explorer's Tools menu then auto-rotate won't work. The Security settings can be different for local web pages than for Internet web pages, so this might explain why the page behaves differently when you visit the pages on the web.

However, then it would probably always behave the same way, not work sometimes and fail sometimes.

Can you tell me a web address that shows the problem with auto-rotate? That might help me determine what is happening.

Go to this page: http://www.solda2000.com/panormoven.htm and select one of 360° panoramas. In my computer both local and internet pages have the same security settings: all javascript enabled, all other things enabled! This "problem" occours on my home PC, job pc and also job pc of my girlfriend...don't know on others...
As you can see from HTML code I deleted two lines to avoid stopping rotation passing mouse over image. I also modified the number that control rotation speed to slow the rotation.

I don't know very well HTML code, but IMHO I think that there's something "wrong" in the line that starts with:

"document.beltovo2.autopan = window.setInterval"

or maybe there is a conflict with other javascript functions of the page: something that causes a different behaviour between online and offline navigation.

Thanks for showing me your panoramas. I have found the problem and I can give you a correction for it.

This problem appears to happen only when the panorama opens in a new browser window. If the panorama opens in a window that already exists, the problem does not seem to happen.

You were correct that the problem is in the line containing "autopan=".

To fix the problem, insert the red items into the line. Be sure to enter the ID of your panorama in place of the letters "ID". In the sample line you posted, the ID of your panorama is "beltovo2".

document.ID.autopan = window.setInterval('{var d = new Date();if (document.ID.GetPluginStatus()=="Complete"){document.ID.SetPanAngle(document.ID.GetPanAngle()+(d.getTime()-document.ID.autotime)/-41.67);document.ID.autotime=d.getTime()}}',25);

Please post back here to let me know if this fixes the problem for you. We will include this change in the next release of The Panorama Factory.

Thanks for the help! I'll try to fix the problem this evening at home (now in Italy it's 8:33am...) and then I'll let you know if it will work!
