I've read the material on publishing to a website, and have a situation where after publishing to our hosting service the individual jpeg pieces seem to present as a slideshow.  I stitched the panorama then published.  I took the 18 files and placed them in a folder on my computer and then clicked on the html file, released the active-x block, and then displayed a perfect panoramas on my computer. The folder contained 18 files- - -  the two viewers js and swf, the 15 jpg files, and the html. I transferred files to a friend using gdrive, and he uploaded the folder to his hosting service with a link to the html file.  When I asked how it went he said he does get images but the jpeg shows as a slide show. 

 I assume if one gets it right you click on a text link and the panorama opens but the image itself is not shown on the website in a frame. Are there any free or inexpensive hosting services where you know this works well where I can test?  Also, some image hosting services will generate embed code for you to place in an I-Frame within your site so that would be nice to know about also.

Last, under what conditions would the swf be activated - - if someone can render in both html 5 and flash does html 5 have priority, and flash would render if html 5 were not present?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerald,

If you can post a link to the uploaded htm page I'd be happy to look.

You'd need a web host which allows you to upload actual files, not via a
content management system. Usually this is advertised as 'ftp access'.

Then you just need to add a link to the .htm file, this will take care
of opening the panorama viewer. It will check if the web browser
supports WebGL, CSS3D or flash and present the panorama in the
appropriate technology. The .swf file is only used if Flash is used to
display the panorama; recent versions of the viewer will prefer to use
WebGL, then CSS3D, then flash as the last choice.

Kind regards,

Thanks Joost - - - I figured it out I think.  Stupid error and must have missed it in the instructions.
I failed to rename the html file to index.html.  After I did that it worked fine.

Thanks again Joost for your quick reply.
