Flash Panorama Player - hanging tooltips
Using the zephry’s excellent Extensible tooltips plugin and also FPP’s tooltip plug-in, there seems to be an issue where the non-static hotpot tooltips will sometimes hang and carry over into the next pano. The only solution I could find was to was turn off the visibility of the non-static hotspots onTransitionEnd, and turn the visibilty back on again onNewPano, so:
onNewPano="
nonstatic_hotpot_1.visibility=0;
nonstatic_hotpot_2.visibility=0;
nonstatic_hotpot_3.visibility=0;
etc...
"
onTransitionEnd="
nonstatic_hotpot_1.visibility=1;
nonstatic_hotpot_2.visibility=1;
nonstatic_hotpot_3.visibility=1;
etc...
"
Obviously a bit of a pain if there are a shedload of hotspots, but it works.

Fake miniature 360° panorama of Oxford
Seeing this is my first post, here’s something a bit different to get this blog rolling.
This is a 360° taken from the top of Oxford’s Carfax Tower which has been processed to make it (hopefully) look a panoramic view of a miniature scale model. The basic steps taken in Photoshop were:
- Duplicate layer
- Create a gradient layer mask and apply lens blur
- Delete layer mask
- Create a new layer mask and remove blur from features that should not be out of focus
- Bump up the saturation, brightness and contrast
