Open2View 360 Panorama Replacement

As a pain in the side, the current Java version of their panoramic sliding software, was causing delayed load times as Java had to initialise and load each applet (this was causing up to 10 additional seconds or more, before the page would display).

I created a customised panoramaic slider from scratch to meet their needs.

Features:

• Default XML document for all flash movies to get intial values for settings which can be overwritten via FlashVars
• 0 movement buffer area adjustment, a percentage setting which increases/decreases the area of the panoramic sliders center in where there is 0 panning movement. This is handy if the area is small and people want more of an area to pause the slider at to view the section. It's not easy trying to balance on the 1 pixel buffer offered by other solutions.
• Ratio adjustment of slider max speed. This can be adjusted to allow faster or slower maximum speed movement (and adjust the acceleration curve)
• Resizable flash movie, no matter how big you want it, it is all working on dynamic variables and will not be tied down to a limitation no matter how small or how large (if your computer can handle it!)
  

Example XML:

<panorama>
    <src>/images/propertys/12e7f093d1d794621d6b21589470fc18.jpg</src>
    <buffer>5</buffer>
    <ratio>30</ratio>
</panorama>
