Using the controlVR component

The controlVR componet has three parameters that can be set in Flash

Parameter	Description
Progress & Title Font	Specifies the embedded font to use in the componet - if left blank it will use the default non-embedded arial font that cannot be masked or rotated. The parameter name specified refers to a font symbol in the libarary and with linkage properties set as follows: the identifier set to the specified font and Export for ActionScript and Export in First Frame selected. The identifier that was used in the linkage is the name that must be used in the parameter.
Progress Color	Changes the color of the progress bar on object load. This parameter can only be altered by ActionScript.
Title Color	Changes the color of the VR object title on object load. This paramter can only be altered by ActionScript
XML File	The relative or absolute path to the image from the file displaying the component

Note: If using relative paths
If the .swf file is loaded by an .html file the path of the xml should be relative to the .html. If you only make use of a .swf file the path should be relative to the .swf.

Example

Open the Components Panel (If using Flash 7 Window ->Development panels -> Components and if using Flash 8 - Window -> Components if not already open).
Find the component in the component panel. You should then either click and drag the component onto the stage or simply double click on the component.
The controlVR object size is determined by the size of the image which it loads. The top most left hand corner of the component determines where the images will be placed.
Once you have determined where you would like to place your component you will need to specify where to obtain .xml file. You will do this by selecting parameter in the properties bar. You will then need to specify the relative or absolute path to the .xml file parameter. You will also need to select the color of your title and also your progress bar. You can then specify the Progress & Title Font if you require to do so, else it will resort to using the default non-embedded arial font that cannot be masked or rotated.
