Create a PANO FLA tutorial

• We begin with a fully stitched bitmap of our Panoramic view from QTVR Authoring Studio.

• Next we need to resize our bitmap.
• Bring the Panorama into Photoshop or Imageready ( I used ImageReady ).
• Resize the Panorama to the height of your Pano viewing window in your Flash .fla. ( in our case 200 pixels )

• Next we need to cut the Panorama into two separate pieces. This is easiest to do with the slice tool in ImageReady.
• The First Piece's width needs to be the same as the Pano View Width. ( In our case 405 pixels )
• The Second Piece's width is what is left after the First Piece. Below shows what it should look like in ImageReady.

• Optimize the Images to balance file size and image quality.
• Export the two images so we can import them into Flash.
• Open the pano_TEMPLATE.fla in our dev/FLA/ folder.
• Save the pano_TEMPLATE.fla as 'pano_NEWNODENAME.fla', where NEWNODENAME is the short name of your new pano ( ex. "Imagination Grows Garden" is "imgrows").
• Import BOTH images into your movie.
• Edit 'pano' in the root timeline then edit 'pano-part A' and replace the first image with the place holder.
• Then edit 'pano-part B' and replace that place holder with the second image..
• Now edit 'pano'. We order our symbols as shown below. You will have two instances of the First Symbol.

• The first instance of our First Image Symbol must have it's leftmost corner at the registration point of 'pano' ( [0,0] coordinate ). The rest follow as shown, end-to-end.
• Now go back to the main timeline. Position 'pano' on the main stage so the top is set with y postion=0.
• You can now export your movie and it is ready to be loaded into the Flash Engine.
