It was never tested on Android. I'm not sure if the flash player on
Android actually supports the required 3D transforms so it might not
work at all.

Which phone are you using? Which Android version is that?

The only problem is that there is no zoom control. It loads fine but
then zooms in and you can not pan or zoom back of course as you do not
have any zoom buttons.
They are necessary on Android as Flash does not support pitch zoom
with fingers.

So it actually works if you set the min and max zoom to e.g. 90 degrees?
Which Android device are you using Hans?

Yes it works with 90 degrees on my HTC Desire Z

But the Flash size has to be only around 20 megapixel. I tried 30 but
it crashed.
This is the same as all other flash viewers except for KRpano which
works for multitiles fine up to 5 Gigapixel.
But also KRPano will crash if you use standard cubefaces above 2200.

Here is the test
http://www.panoramas.dk/panorama/p902/

This is BTW set to 8.5 for the iDevices.
Works fine on my iPad. but may crash on the fullscreen button the
first time.

Android 2.1 non HTC, does not support flash or flash lite (so I guess it tries to read the html-5/Css player. ?)  and it dislays as Hans described.
It would be usefull a hint to set/experiment with the initial zoom/fov  on the code , cause it seems html5 PtGui player maybe could play on android browzer.

Probably it's the same problem as the Google Chrome browser: it appears
to support the CSS3D API but in fact it does a 2D transform, not 3D.
This looks like the panorama is completely zoomed in but in reality it's
just a 2D representation of the tiles. You'll need Flash to be able to
display panoramas on Android.
