Ongoing progress

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 10:05 am

The new programmer started at the beginning of this month, and things are looking good. For the most part he has been reading up on things, but also coding.

A new FLV plugin has been made, based entirely on AS3 code, and not on Adobe Flash components, which are faulty. This eliminated the garbage collection problem when using the FLV plugin, and it is going to be customizable as time moves on, with some control buttons.
A new mp3 player has also been made, with play-/pause-, stop-, mute-, timer-, playlist-, volume-, next song-, previous song- control buttons. What is left, is to integrate it in FFC and make it so that it's interface can be completely re-skinned by the FFC users to match other buttons/hotspots used. It has been outfitted with drag & drop function, so that you only need to drag a mp3 file and drop it into the FFC toolbox, and a mp3 hotspot with relevant settings will be created automatically . Same drag & drop for FLV files is also to be implemented... and for hotspot image files. It will save a few clicks, and make panolife even more enjoyable.

There are still a few fixes to be made. One is: the mouse cursor disappears when it is over the toolbox if an animated (object movie) swf file is inserted in the panorama. Another is garbage collection failure when changing to a different dashboard image folder... and others. But the list is getting shorter, moving the release date closer.

This is what there is of update news for today. Hopefully you like the "sound" of things to come.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 4:46 pm

Today is the day when the program is ready for publishing. The publishing itself won't take place until next week though, due to me not having gotten the adobe air certificate (financial backslashes that should be corrected next week ... that's just the sad truth of the matter).

It also gives us a few more days to test everything there is to test, and ensure a more reliable first release.

This has been a very long process (over 10 months), and way beyond anything I ever imagined it would become.... and still... this is only the beginning of the adventure. Months more of coding are already stacked up on the "to do" list, and no doubt, with the help of you, the uses, lots of improvements and additions can be made available.

I am very happy to finally be able to announce the first full release, and a big sincere *thank you* goes to Denis for his full support to the project, especially in the last step where he provided the original source files for the plugins, so that these could be modified to work perfectly in FFC, and we also have his blessings to provide the altered plugins with FFC. This will make the whole installation process much easier, and users will only have to move a few of the essential FPP plugins (hotspots.swf, movDecoder.swf, pano.swf, cylConverter.swf... and a few others) to the FFC installation folder.

A massive thank you goes also towards all of those of you who haven't given totally up on the never ending story of "now it's going to be published"... and then it didn't.. :roll:

I know that even though there is still much that can (and will) be better, then the first release will be considered a big evolutionary step in FPP work.. and the competition (all the other players) will have a major work to do in order to get their toes to where FPP's heels will be. Even a child can use the program without major problems, and still make a project that is fairly complicated if comparing to what is done in code or with other players.

Thank you for your time,

Trausti

I wanted to upload the latest version (2.06) tonight, but during testing which I prefer to make before uploads, I came across a bug that needs to be fixed (doesn't clean out mp3's during reloads), and the main programmer had left when I discovered it.... so tomorrow it will have to be released.

What's new, is stripe support (vertical stripes).

Sorry for the bother.

Trausti

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Fri Nov 14, 2008 11:19 pm

Version 2.07 was supposedly coming out tonight, but the main programmer was unable to come in today... Tomorrow he will take care of things.... the whole day.

This is so darn predictable, yet I refuse to accept it every single time.

Progress report.

Bad news first:

Work on Tourificator began before the weekend, continued over the weekend and until now. Everything worked like a dream until it came to loadPano. It simply doesn't want to work at all. We think it's because Flashificator is built inside Adobe AIR, and that the pano.swf plugin is not designed to be used inside an AIR container. So for now the project is put on hold... I just sent Denis a mail, asking for his advice, and hope that he has a trick or two up his sleeve, that can resolve this issue.

The code is good, everything written in the xml file would work perfectly as a project, panos would load at the click of a hotspot and NO problems whatsoever on that front. It will however not allow the next pano to load, giving the following error:

Code: Select all: Error: Error #1095: XML parser failure: Unterminated attribute. at Error$/throwError() at flash.xml::XMLDocument/parseXML() at PanoController/parseXML() at PanoController/loadPanorama() at DocumentClass/loadComplete()[/Users/ffc/Documents/Flashificator/Current/DocumentClass.as:4100] Cannot display source code at this location.

And the reason is found here:

Code: Select all: <?xml version='1.0'?> <panorama meta='Made with http://www.flashificator.com'> <parameters> panoName = file:///private/var/folders/Yc/Ycl0pdOaFdmGKqRDsa3Zdk+++TI/TemporaryItems/FlashTmp10/files/visualFiles/bath panoType = mov segments = 20 layer_1 = movDecoder.swf layer_2 = hotspots.swf </parameters> <hotspots> <global functionTest=" loadPano(panoName=file:///private/var/folders/Yc/Ycl0pdOaFdmGKqRDsa3Zdk+++TI/TemporaryItems/FlashTmp10/files/visualFiles/bath&panoType=mov,1000,fade); " > <pano /> <spot id="hotspot1" url="" depth="1" /> </global> </hotspots> </panorama>

The key part being:

Code: Select all: functionTest=" loadPano(panoName=file:///private/var/folders/Yc/Ycl0pdOaFdmGKqRDsa3Zdk+++TI/TemporaryItems/FlashTmp10/files/visualFiles/bath&panoType=mov,1000,fade); "

When it comes to parseXML, it just won't do it.

Then to the good news:

... well... the above bad news is so bad, that I have difficulty thinking of anything positive. But this is not a declared final defeat... there has to exist a solution to this, and I count on Denis to use his brilliant mind to get us out of the quagmire.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 12:10 am

Ok... off the time line again...

I wanted to upload version 2.012 the day before yesterday, then I wanted to do it yesterday... but it won't be uploaded until today (monday).

Why the delay? Well... that's entirely my fault. The new version has a lot of new features on the Loadmeters tab, as described elsewhere. And the delay was due to the creation and implementation of a preloader.

With the preloader you can decide how many images from another pano will be loaded at any given time. All you need to do, is to activate it when using Tourificator (when the loadPano issue with it will is solved).

Until then, it can be used for individual panoramas to be loaded in the background... using the openUrl method shown here and here. For it to preload the next tour, you have to type in the url of the IMAGES or MOV file for the pano you want to preload.

Since the Tourificator is on hold for now, I will have the programmer to make the above mentioned openUrl method as a preset, where only the url to the domain has to be provided. It will be the poor man's Tourificator... but will be helpful for smaller projects.

So the delay is not because nothing is being done, but because things are being done. I wanted the preloader to be included in the next version... and it will be.... today monday. I need to do some more testing with it before the release.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 12:21 am

Oh heck. I will have the programmer to make a preset for the openUrl command, so all you have to do to open another pano from a hotspot, is to feed in the proper url. I will also have him to make it so that you will only need to give the url of one of the 6 images to preload, and the other 5 will be automatically taken into the preloader.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 8:45 pm

Today the implementation of a specialized context menu has been ongoing, and it will be ready for release tomorrow. With it, the standard flash context menu will be disabled (in most recent browsers) and this FFC context menu will be displayed. On the left side in the context menu you can have images (thumbnails) and on the right side you can have a description of your own liking and link to whatever site you may like to link to.

As of now, the images do not resize to a bigger image when the mouse hovers over the image... but I would like it to do that. And since the Tourificator issue has been resolved, I would also like the context menu to operate as a tour central... where you can go to the next pano in the tour (with transition effects etc).

Browsers that are not supported (Opera and Google Chrome for instance), the standard Flash menu will appear. That leads me to ask my programmers to do another context menu along the lines that is available through the flashpanos.com site, where you can add your copyright info, links to other pages etc... but that one will not be able to act as a tour control (to the best of my knowledge).

If the Tourificator will be released tomorrow as well... I don't know, but it should be possible... I truly hope so.... Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of the project... the day the work on the free version started, so it would be great if it can be released.

Trausti, many auguries for your / our child virtual .....

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 12:20 pm

Thank you!

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 11:43 pm

1st anniversary... and no new release as I was certain it would be. The final coding of Tourificator got a few extra corners in need of additional fixes. Nothing serious, and I'm confident that it's going to be ready tomorrow... along with the first slide-show... and the first compass .... and the customizable context menu .... as far as I can see.

by **sapper** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 2:16 am

Happy Birthday Flashificator!

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 8:49 pm

Thank you Sapper.

Problems in Perudise: One of the FFC users had a problem with a tour he had made with FFC and then manually coding for a multi node tour. The culprit turned out to be the ffc_glassMeter. For single panos it works fine and error free, but when in tours, it throws an error. You can see the discussion here: http://flashpanoramas.com/forum/showthr ... #post10925

Until now I haven't got a copy of the tourificator equipped FFC (version 2.013) on my puter, but my main programmer was able to replicate the problem when using the glassMeter with Tourificator loaded with 2+ pano project, while using the standard FPP glassMeter would not make an error (but it really f***s up the garbage collection in FFC). This means a delay for the next version, so that he can fix the error in the glassMeter, and we will obviously also have to do more tests involving all plugins, to see if there are similar problems in other garbage collection enhanced plugins.

This just had to happen... I was too pleased with the progress of the past days...

Well... it's better to wait a little bit more for a fail free version, than having to spend time with a faulty one.

by **Florent** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 2:14 am

Don't be sad.... it's better to discover the problem now instead of after FFC release. You're working hard on this !

Keep going on !

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 1:54 am

Latest version 2.013b is out, but it has to be labeled as a BETA, due to errors in the Context menu (not the final version that left the house for the weekend with my second programmer), and no video tutorials accompany this version yet, to show how the Tourificator is operated.

The glassmeter plugin has been fixed, and some minor changes in the layout of the "Visuals" tab have been made, and a whole lot of other things were coded... and the Poorificator is OUT of this version, but will be written in again (from another project it was made in) for next release.

As you can see in the updates section, I only just had my first taste of Tourificator, and things worked for me... due to lack of sleep in the past days, I will make this short and hope that you understand that this is a beta version... and not intended for any serious use. Monday will provide a non-beta version.

Play around with it, suggest improvements/changes etc.

In my private opinion (do I have a private opinion when it comes to Flashificator :roll:

) Flashificator is a big tool-box, where everything is a big mess... all the tools are there, but in a pile. We have to find a way to organize the interface better and have the structure so that people can go from point 1 to point 100 without getting lost in the process.

Gone to sleep now.... enjoy!

by **nickhardcastle** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 11:03 am

Good to see the quick progress! I have been playing around with Tourificator but couldn't get it to work following your instructions. I think that there may be a missing line somewhere. All that I got was a transition effect between my first pano and my .... first pano in the series. Sure that it is me doing something wrong. Didn't have time to work it out though. It sure involves a lot of clicking backwards and forwards. I wonder if it would be possible to have the whole process worked through in the one tab or screen, in a logical order?

by **mareintorno** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 1:50 pm

One might become crazy ... :oops:

However as I understand it ... the hotspot is fixed, like a menu, and then always call on each pan?
Then there is a hotspot that disappears with his overview. :?:

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Sat Dec 13, 2008 3:12 pm

Ok, I am getting crazy with this too.... and am without the assistance of the responsible programmer.

There is way too much clicking back and forth involved, and for me it is clear that the toolbox for Tourificator has to be bigger NOW, in order to fit the essentials (adding a source image for the "Load next Pano" function and to fit it in place etc).

The tools are available to do the whole thing, but as I said in my previous post: Organization of the tools in the box is needed for ease of use.

We will get there, since it is in everyone's best interest.

Nick, if your initial pano loads again, then you have assigned the function to open it on click with the function created.... you should mark the other pano (or one of the others) for the function.

This is COMPLICATED... (that's my own honest opinion)... but doable... and that's not good enough. I'm so lost that I give up for now. :oops:

Maybe worth trying this:

1. Start the application.
2. Name the project.
3. Select Project FIles.
4. Click "Plugins"
5. Click "Tourificator"
6. Create a hotspot with the green hotspot creator.
7. Drag and drop your panos into the "Tour Files" list.
(at this point if all files are in the "Tour Files" list, all created hotspots, dashboard, etc will apply to all the panoramas).
8. Click a pano in the "Tour Files" list and click "View Pano" to see how it looks.
(The transition effect will change randomly with every click of "View Pano" as a default).
Click the arrow button between the two lists to move the pano to the right list.
(This will make the selected hotspot (in the hotspot drawer) only appear in the panos that are in the right list).
9. To create a function you can attach to any hotspot that will load the next pano: Click "Create Load Pano".
10. Select the panorama you want the function load.
11. Name your function
(A recognizable name could be 'load'+(name of your pano))
12. Select a transition effect.
13. Set the transition time.
14. Click "Create as Function".
15. Click "Hotspots" Tab.
16. Click "Source" button to select an image/button to the selected hotspot.
17. Click "Functions" tab.
18. Click "Attach To"
19. Click "Hotspot".
20. Click "onClick".
(you will see the function you created with its name in the left list).
21. Select the function you created.
22. Click the arrow button between the lists to attach the function to the selected hotspot.
23. Click "Reload".
24. Click the hotspot you have assigned the function to in the panorama.
(the button will load the next pano with the transition effect you have chosen).
(If you apply the dashboard, it will be visible in all panos by default).
25. Flashificate your project.

The above only provides ONE hotspot (to change to the next pano) and no return to the first one... but you could use the above method for that also... just switch the panos when assigning the function (and making a new hotspot and mark it before assigning the hotspot).

It is about time that multiple hotspots can be selected for applying changes to them... and I hope that will be ready within the next couple of weeks.

Sorry for this initial VERY confusing basic tourificator .... but rest assured that it will be made more logical, and we have to make videos of it as well.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 7:09 pm

Another simpler way I'm asking the programmer to implement to be able to make tours in a simple way:

1. Create a hotspot
2. Drag and drop an image for the hotspot by dropping it on the hotspot in the hotspot drawer
3. Lock hotspot position
4. Drag and drop a pano file onto the hotspot
5. From the hotspot drawer... (not preview window hotspot) you can select transition time and transition effect

This should be doable, even if the programmer claims that the code will get "all messed up".... so let's wait and see.

by **mareintorno** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 12:37 pm

-20 Step ... excellent :idea:

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 2:44 pm

If this method will be implemented, it would be a huge improvement. With the new interface things will even be easier... and I can't wait for it to finish... but at the same time the current interface has to be improved and made easier as well... and I only have one programmer who can do that work... the other one is making plugins and such.

So... don't expect miracles to happen overnight.

by **mareintorno** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 5:37 pm

You used to miracles.
Feel free to watch this work, the fruit of your work, because I have a problem. :?:

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 10:42 pm

Here is one that you should fix... using depth 2 times is not right:

<box
id="fascia"
url="files/hotspotFiles/images/fascia.png"
depth="0"
distorted="0"
scaleable="0"
static="1"
depth="1"
alignX="-1"
alignY="-1"
salignX="0.5"
salignY="0.48"
/>

Keep depth="0", since that's the lowest (keeps the banner in the back).

Try this and I'm sure it will stay in the background afterwards.

And no... this error (with two times depth) is not made with FFC...

by **mareintorno** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 4:50 am

Are you kidding? Absolutely with FFC.
Xml produce and often we put our hands because it does not work.
Maybe my mistake!

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 9:38 am

Well, I have never seen such an error - or heard from anyone having encountered it before, therefore my comment. That being said, anything is possible, and errors appear where ever they want ... it seems.

Did this solve the problem?

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 9:54 pm

Tomorrow (Tuesday Jan. 6th) a new version will be available. It will include the long awaited slideshow. Two slideshows have been made for the project until now, one still has errors and won't be published until it is error-free.

The "Mapper" (floorplan/map plugin) is getting meat on the framework, and will be a good tool to have for tours

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 11:24 am

So the day before yesterday is coming today. My secondary programmer will arrive late today (in the afternoon) and after that I can get a copy of the latest version (has to be combined with the work done by the primary programmer), test it and make it available.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 12:05 am

Still containing errors and bugs.

Generally the slideshow works, but ONLY if you do things in ONE specific manner... and that is not how it should be.

It's midnight now, and the main programmer is debugging the slideshow and giving it a make-over, so that it will be more flexible and free from limitations.

Please bear over with this additional delay....

Trausti Hraunfjord wrote:Still containing errors and bugs... that is not how it should be.

Is this a slideshow with lightbox or a slideshow in another way?

Too much suspens!!!

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Sat Jan 10, 2009 6:55 pm

Too much of everything... if you ask me. Too much waiting, too much time in development, too much delay, too much waiting, too much ... of everything. The slideshow plugins were made by my second programmer, and he has still not learned to do things in the manner things need to be done: To make sure that even if the user does something NOT according to the one-way method the programmer designed it for, it would work. Exceptions and imaginary situations etc NEED to be built in from the get-go. My main programmer is very good at thinking of the most insane situations, and counter those before users fall into such open pot holes. So the second programmer has been *told* to do his job properly, and prevent having the doors wide open for possible and preventable problems. He is a good guy, but too used to work according to a schedule and not in projects where FLEXIBILITY is important.

Next week... some time. And the floorplan (made by my main programmer) is very close to completion. It is well done, well structured, well behaving and dynamic. You can drag the hotspots on the map around the map in real time, while the values for the hotspot in question will change on the fly. You can add as many hotspots to your map as you want, use your own maps of whatever size, add transparency to it and use your own hotspot images to mark where the hotspots are etc. It's job well done from start to finish. The thing that is missing right now, is to have a radar sweeper/compass built into it, and to make it possible to change to a new floorplan in real time (if you have a house on 3 or more floors, you might want to use 3 floorplans, and therefore need to change to second floor, 3rd floor etc. Next week will probably see the completion of the floorplan plugin (the "Mapper").

by **mareintorno** » Wed Jan 14, 2009 5:43 am

Hello Trausti,
is that you are not law.
I wanted to put some doubts in the work I've done using the best flashificator. See link here
http://www.lampedusando.it/lampedusando.html
I have some doubts but already known.
1) You can not delete a loadpano if you make a mistake
2) The levels are not respectful.
3) the tooltips you can stop it, so do not follow the mouse?
4) OpenFullscreen should have more functions, for example (click image enter a hotspot in the desired position and you're done)
It 'clear that the game is simple if you plan ...
Greetings

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Fri Jan 16, 2009 1:25 pm

Hi Alfredo.

1. I will bring this to the attention of my programmer. Of course it should be possible to delete things that do not work, and that has to be taken care of.
2. I'm not sure what you mean by "The levels are not respectful".... maybe try with a different wording.
3. Are you talking about the tooltip following the mouse OUTSIDE the hotspot to which the tooltip is assigned, or would you like a stationary tooltip that will not move while you move the mouse over the hotspot it is assigned to? If OUTSIDE, then that's an error that's fixed in the next update... as far as I know. If it should be stationary in one spot over the hotspot it is in... then I don't know if that can be done easily.
4. You can do that with the open fullscreen button from the dashboard. The openfullscreen button plugin that comes with FPP is very simple, and not geared up for changes in an easy manner. I have asked for a new preset for only the fullscreen button, giving freedom to change the image and place it where you want, without it conflicting with the FS button in the dashboard, but it's not been done yet.

If things were simple, all of this had been made years ago. Lots of things have been planned many are in development, and some of the things that have been done, still contain bugs and errors that had not been foreseen during planning and development. What may appear to be simple and easy to do, often contain more complexity than things we might expect to be much more complicated. Any and all bugs that are reported, will be taken care of. Suggestions for improvements are equally taken seriously.

Thank you for your input.

I used the Linked to the elements in the foreground, I do not understand why there are 3 pano not call the elements, (see pano, casateresa, port and calacreta)

Clearly there is an error in the output. At least one of the non-working panos has had it's name cut short.

Could you possibly pack the whole project in a .zip file and send it to me (or upload the zip file and provide me a link) so that my programmer can get a better look at how everything is?

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:53 am

Version 2.018 is out.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 1:19 pm

Version 2.019 is out.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 1:09 pm

It looks as if I will have a new version later today, including the Mapper plugin for testing.

As stated elsewhere, it will be released without the radar sweeper (compass) for the maps and also without the Path-maker, which enables you to draw up a path from point A to point B, C, D, Etc. and vise-verse, which can be made to be redraw when a point on the map is clicked.

I've been looking forward to this plugin for a long time.... over 2 months since the work on it started.

Will keep you's posted.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:27 pm

I am supposedly in posession of a copy with the Mapper, but have no time to check it out. Will make it available in the morning (my time (EST)), first without tutorials, but I will have the programmer to make a walk-through.

by **terrycm** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 11:54 pm

EXCELLENT! Please keep us posted.

Terry

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 1:23 pm

Wait no longer, I have made the latest version available in the updates section.

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 12:30 am

FFC is now compatible with FPP v2.3 of pano.swf ....but only with a test file we received from Denis a while back. It is different from the pano.swf available from the FPP google groups, and the standard v2.3 will not work.

I have emailed Denis, asking for permission to upload his enhanced file to the google groups, where you the users could pick it up and use it with FFC. Now we just have to wait and see.

Due to the moving cube faces in Mac's, it would probably be a good thing to allow users to use either v2.2 or v2.3 in FFC for the output.

Hopefully this is good news to you all.

by **mareintorno** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 7:44 am

Trausti Hello,
you lost a good habit ... list all the new features of the upgrade.
I am not ashamed to say that I do not understand what's going on. :oops:

Good news is that Slideshow2 started to work

by **Trausti Hraunfjord** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 10:39 am

Hi Alfredo.

It's not that the "good habit" is lost.... it's fortunately simpler than that. Time on my end has been very limited due to my parents being on a visit. Not having seen them for a few years has it's consequences, and they deserve my time and attention. I guess this is what is called "Family first" ...

I will make the needed video tutorials and walk-throughs so that you good folks will have lesser problems getting through the process of using the software.... I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this can cause... but I am sure you understand.

As to the slideshow having started to work again for you... that is good news to me as well. There has been done absolutely no work on the slideshow since your last version where it didn't work, so something must have gone wrong machine-wise when you had the previous version installed? I guess we will never know.

Hi Laurent.

Yes, the mapper is fully working, but still without a tutorial... and it looks complicated to me...

I came across a bug (that has been fixed), and a new version needs to be made available. The bug appears in hotspots use (doesn't allow moving hotspots around), and as such it is a serious thing.

While trying to ... try... the mapper, It crashed on me two times, so there is something amiss with v2.021 ... the version that the programmer is using, does not crash when the same things are done (more work on the code has been done).
