Remembering the QTVR Pan Angle
Mon Jan 15, 2007 · 75 words

This only works with Safari:

QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML (

    'myVRmovie.mov', 800, 600, '',

    'controller', 'true',

    'id', 'myvrmovie',

    'cache', 'true',

    'pan', getAngle ());

… where getAngle() just uses a cookie:

function getAngle ()

{

    return document.cookie.split ('=')[1];

}

… which is set with setAngle () like thus:

function setAngle ()

{

    document.cookie = 'angle=' + Math.floor (document.myvrmovie.GetPanAngle ());

}

Finally, the hotspots are wired to go through this function:

function openPage (url)

{

    setAngle ();

    window.location (url);

}
