I'm spanish. In Europe software patents do not exist. Software patents are
the virus that we must eradicate. In the USA "mouse double clicks" are
patented, IT'S CRAZY. I NEVER will pay attention to software patents.

This issue (software patets) is differet that propietary formats. For
example, if Apple don't want that I use QTVR format I will not use it.


Yuval, "brgolor" was a mistake mine. Fixed :D

mmm... do you have Flash8? I read in this page that latest Flash version is
required to play its videos http://www.youtube.com/t/help#videosnoplay

I use this content because I thinked that a lot of people in this list has
Flash8. I can create another example with a Flash5 content...

>Did you ask for permission to use external content?

You can include youTube videos in any page. I see them in a lot of pages and
blogs http://www.youtube.com/sharing

>I also noticed that in FF DevalVR is not signed and in IE it is?

Yes, certificates has a cost. I only pay for ActiveX certificate to sign IE
plugin and standalone player, this payment is for one year. From 2001 to
2005 I bought Verisign certificates each year (but Verisign is very
expensive), for 2006 I bought a Thawte certificate. The ActiveX certificate
does not work to sign Netscape plugin, and I don't have money to buy more
certificates.

Yes, I can place the flash movie in 2D over the panorama, with alpha
blending and transparent. I will make a example for the next version (I need
do some adjust)

Hi Nicola, do you have Flash 8 installed?

Sorry, the viewer uses a internal "IExplorer object" to load the Flash
movie. This behavior only is possible with Flash ActiveX installed.

But, you can create Flash 5 or Flash 6 content. Flash 5 is installed
in "all" computers around the world.



Thanks all :)
