Actually you can do that with LiveStage Pro. I?ve done something similar,
using stills, in my last two QTVRs.
<<http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp904/html/BobShindel.html>> I call them
Interactive Sidecar Slideshows. This idea is not original with me. I
learned how to do this from a tutorial by Kevin Quinn at Quicktimeing.org
<<http://www.quicktiming.org/tutorials/vr_w_slides.php>>. (Thanks Kevin, I
could have never figured this out on my own!) In his tutorial Kevin uses an
Object VR. From that I was able to figure out how to adapt it to a Panorama
VR adding a changing text track using much the same principle. You can
download a free 30 day trial version of LiveStage Pro from Totally Hip
<<http://www.totallyhip.com/products.asp>>, but be warned give yourself lots
of time. This is not an easy application to master, or even become barely
competent in like me. I can post a copy of the code I used if wanted. Like
REALVIZ did with Stitcher 3.1 a few of months ago, a long while back TOTALLY
HIP gave away a free copy of their older version of LiveStage Pro with a
copy of ComputerArts Magazine. I wish more Software companies would do this
and in more than just, hard to find in the States and else where, British
Magazines.
