I agree, and support your initiative.

Noted. I have and love Pano2VR and would like to make use of your idea
once you have satisfied yourself it is stable/applicable for most
viewers.

As one of the many who have benefitted from your shared knowledge and
experience how could I resist a "please" (a pretty please, at that!)?
On my tiny notebook computer, using Windows XP (home), 1GB of RAM, and
an Intel "Graphics Media Accelerator for Mobile" (whatever that is),
the rotating sphere came up well after I selected Flash as you
suggest. This was with Opera 9.62. However, after a while it blinked
and then restarted automatically. I waited to see if this happened
again, and it did. Maybe this is a feature of your demo?
I like the compass and hope it can be fixed soon.
