Re: Autorotate and new QTVR file not showing up in live preview

In order not to annoy certain members here with the autorotate
feature, I applied another kind of rotation sprite;
<http://128.32.102.88:8090/gen/live_preview/wwp1205/html/
WillyKaemena.html>
after loading, the pano will spin right away, but any click on
it will stop it forever. Only a page reload will start the spin again.
I think it is very important to show the unawares there outside
that they are not looking at a static picture....
