Re: why do some panos auto rotate others do not

Hi,
it's somewhat difficult. I'll try to explain.
First, the Auto-Rotate.
You can set the Flash movie to auto-rotate by clicking "Configure Flash Display"
(beneath the "Upload JPEG" button). On the Configure Flash page, there is the
button "Show/Hide Advanced Settings", and in there is the Auto-Rotate selector.
Second, why the XML error?
This happens because the "public" area of the server shares the panorama files
with the "contribute" area of the server (to avoid keeping duplicates of these
files which amount to a considerable size).
The web pages in the public area are cached, i.e. once the new page gets
published, the web pages are "fixed".
You have removed your JPEG (which also removes all associated Flash player
files), but the "public" side (since it's cached) still tells your browser to
"go and fetch this flash data". Hence, XML error.
You may re-upload your JPEG and use the Auto-Rotate configurator (see #1) and
then I can do a "minor update" to get both Flash and Quicktime working with
auto-rotate, or, if you want to leave your panorama as "Quicktime-only", I can
do a "minor update" which only tells the front-side that there's no more Flash
file, clears the cache and switches your panorama page into "Quicktime-only"
mode.
Just drop me a mail. :)
