fieldOfView | SPi-V devSpotter online

Hello
Is there a way to create spotter online?
I want to read (and copy) pan/tilt/fov in internet browser (I don't need a crosshair, grid and anything).
I guess it should be a dcr file (like SPi-V.dcr) with implemented text field which displays those parameters, and with a capability to load any xml/image as a regular SPi-V.dcr.
Can anyone help with that thing?
Re: Spotter online
If you own a copy of Director, it is pretty easy to make something like that. See the article on using SPi-V in Director.
Re: Spotter online
Yes, I have, and I was trying, but I don't know director too much.
I've downloaded integration advanced and modyfied, so I have coordinates displayed where I want, but I can't open external xml specyfied in attribute in html.
Ps. How to put " to string? Normally it's \" but in Director it doesn't work...
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was trying harder and ;) :
- I don't need to know how to put " to string ;)
- I've made something like spotter, but it works offline, on server coordinates aren't passed to text field.
Here is my project:
spotter.dir
spotter.dcr
Here is what I did (I was working on integration-advanced):
- changed a little text field to display pan tilt and fov
- changed LoadPanorama behavior to load file specyfied in swURL parameter
- added a Copy behavior to simply copy coordinates on clicking text field
As I was saying, locally it works fine, but not on server (I put spotter.dcr next to SPi-V.dcr and as src parameter I put spotter.dcr).
Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Re: Spotter online
If you upload an actual page, it is a lot easier for me to see what is going on. As it is, spotter.dcr tells me it can't find SPi-V.dcr

Data to watch locally
spotter.zip
Hope those files will help to find what's wrong...
Re: Spotter online
Thanks, that helps. I found the bug in my code:
In the "get pan" behavior, change the getSPV handler:
on getSPV me
repeat with tSpriteNum = 1 to the lastChannel
if sprite(tSpriteNum).member.type = #movie and sprite(tSpriteNum).filename contains "SPi-V.dcr" then
tSPV = tSpriteNum
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
return tSPV
end
furthermore it your exitFrame handler could be a little more efficient:
on exitFrame meif voidP(pSPV) then
pSPV = me.getSPV()
else
tell sprite(pSPV)
tPan = getProperty("_camera", "pan")
tTilt = getProperty("_camera", "tilt")
tFov = getProperty("_camera", "fov")
end tell
end if
end
Re: Spotter online
With a litle modyfication works great!
...if sprite(tSpriteNum).member.type = #movie and sprite(tSpriteNum).member.filename contains "SPi-V.dcr" then
...
Thanks!
