SPi-V 1.4.5

Changelog: 
  • introduces XML change to camera dynamics node
    There was a conflict in names between zoomspeed for the current zooming rate and the relative pace at which zoom 'happens'. This conflict has been lifted.
  • fixes pan & tilt bug when fov > pan/tilt range
  • fixes zoom set through toolbar button
  • adds _plugin object to expose html parameters
    Shockwave allows you to add a couple of specific parameters to the HTML of your pages, inside the object/embed tag. These can now be read by SPi-V. eg:

    getProperty("_plugin","sw1")

    The _plugin object is only available when running SPi-V in a browser or other plugin environment.

Re: SPi-V 1.4.5

Hello

I wanted to use that new version, but there is an error (?). Normally, when I play spi-v in web browser, everything is fine, but when I import tour to director, there is a script error at start... I opened a console, but there was no errors or anything bad. When I've selected "ok" to continue, tour was playing normally...

After some research I found out, that problem is with license. When I delete license node everything is working fine.

So, can You look at that Aldo?

Re: SPi-V 1.4.5

Could you tell me the exact text for the error?

Re: SPi-V 1.4.5

Text for error is:

Script Error. Continue?

You can look at my files:

Re: SPi-V 1.4.5

Thanks, I'll look in to it. I did not test your scenario (loading xml from a castmember) with 1.4.5. What was the last version you tried before 1.4.5?

PS: if you go to File -> Publish Settings, there's an option to turn on (slightly) more descriptive error messages on the 'Projector' tab.

Re: SPi-V 1.4.5

The last was 1.4.4, it doesn't have this problem.

More descriptive text is:

"Object with duplicate name already exists
-2147196922
Script Error..."

Log for this file is:

-- "Engine initialised"
-- "Showing empty document"
-- "Loading '#_PanoBG' in simple mode"
-- "Loading '#_lang'"
-- "Analysing XML document"
-- "XML document complete"

Re: SPi-V 1.4.5

Thanks, will be fixed in 1.4.6

This was an 'interesting' issue to track down; Director was executing code 'out of order'. I must confess I had seen symptoms of the issue before, but since it never led to a bug in SPi-V before I did not really investigate.

The interesting thing is that the changes between 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 had nothing to do with the place in the code that caused the bug you were seeing. I hope this is the only occurance of this Director issue in SPi-V...

Re: SPi-V 1.4.5

Thanks, it's fixed now (1.4.6)
