Offline panoramas

Now we are ready to create an offline presentation.

1. Download Flash Player 9 Standalone player (projector) for your OS from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.

2. Run the Standalone Player and open your main panorama file (drag it to the Standalone Player window). I used nature.swf:

3. Now choose in the player menu: File -> Create Projector:

4. Save the executable file to your working directory.

5. Now let's collect all needed files:

I have six images (cube faces), autorotator.swf to make panorama to rotate automatically, SAFullscreen.swf plugin (a simple plugin to open Standalone Player window fullscreen - take it from the plugins folder), nature.xml with params and Nature.exe - standalone variant of the Flash Panorama Player. I do not need any other files.

6. nature.xml contains:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<panorama>
    <parameters>
        layer_1=SAFullscreen.swf
        layer_2=autorotator.swf
    </parameters>
</panorama>

One last step: I'm going to create an autorun file (for Windows). I want to burn my panorama to CD and I want to make it starts to show the panorama when I insert this disc into the CD-ROM drive.

7. Create new text file and rename it to autorun.inf:

Copy this text to the file:

[autorun]
open=Nature.exe
icon=Nature.exe,0

8. Now you can burn it to CD and have fun.
