use-livecode Digest, Vol 87, Issue 61

Scott,
You are correct that QTVRs will work on Apple computers provided that QT 7 is still installed.  However, QTVRs do not appear to work on 64 bit Windows computers, regardless of the Quicktime version that is installed.  Others (non-LiveCode users) have suggested substituting other kinds of players instead of Quicktime (Flash Panorama Player, Krpano, Pano2VR, PanSalado).  However, I don't know if any of these would be useful for presenting via a LiveCode stack or standalone.  If not, then unless Apple fixes the problem, or LiveCode finds a way around the problem, it seems that it is no longer possible to present QTVRs via (any version of) LiveCode on 64-bit Windows computers.  If anyone finds a way around this, I sure would like to know, since I've spent a lot of time creating QTVRs. Thanks, and happy holidays to all.

Apple still offers a download of QT 7 to accommodate things that don't work in 
QT X, but I don't know if this version will work on 64 bit systems.  Worth a 
test?

know if there is a workaround in which  panoramas will show in Livecode, or if 
Apple plans to correct the issue? Is QTVR obsolete?  Thanks.
