Awrkward problem on mac

  • hi there,


    Wondered, if you could help me out on this.


    I am having quite an awkward problem.


    Everything seems to work perfectly on PC. I am on a macbook and the problem is as follows.


    A. On firefox 3:

    Onhover stops working when I enter full screen.

    I have small texts (via showtext) that appear any time the mouse hovers
    on a hotspot, map or button, but when I enter full screen it does not
    work. The SAME problem seem to occur on some of the examples on the
    krpano website (Examples > Panoramas > via hotspots connected panoramas (all of the panos in this set of examples have this problem) ). On Safari 3, I don't have this problem.


    B. On Firefox 3 and Safari3:

    When I use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out, it does not work
    in both Firefox and Safari when I am NOT in full screen mode. When I
    enter full screen it works perfectly.


    Thanks for helping *smile*

    This is a well known Flash bug (even for the actual version). I assume, you are working with OSX 10.4.x? Maybe it`s solved for OSX 10.5.x? I hope so, because it doesn't seem to be resolved by anyone.

    On Safari all is working well, but unfortunately not in Firefox.

  • Hi,

    yes, this is a know problem/bug of the Flashplayer (or Firefox ) on Mac,
    I will try to find a workaround for this bug, but I'm not sure if that will be possible...

    B. On Firefox 3 and Safari3:

    When I use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out, it does not work
    in both Firefox and Safari when I am NOT in full screen mode. When I
    enter full screen it works perfectly.

    this is also a known problem, but there is a workaround available for this.

    The reason why it's not working is that the MAC Flashplayers plugin (a NPAPI plugin) uses an older Event Model for the Mouse events, and this Event Model doesn't support Mousewheel events, so the Browser is not able to send the Mouse Wheel Events to the Flashplayer (the Fullscreenmode works different - here the Flashplayer itself has the more control)

    The workaround - catch the mousewheels via Javascript and send them manually to krpano (the "swfkrpanomousewheel.js" does that)

    note - when working/testing locally - it can be nessecery to change the Flash security settings to get the Flash<=>Javascript interface working, online this will be no problem,

    for changing the Flash security settings - have a look here:

    best regards,
