Creating 360° Panoramic Images in Flash

The SWF File

A sunny day on the Hobart docks - Tasmania, Australia

Panoramic movies are just another example of the power of flash. In this tutorial we'll be looking at how to create the above example so you too can apply this to your designs. To get started you'll need take some photos using a tripod by spinning it around. I wouldn't recommend relying just on your hands, it will never be right. Once you join them all up in Photoshop or a 360° photo stitching program like Ulead Cool 360 you will have one photo which gives you a 360° view. The one i've used here isn't quite 360° it but will do for the purpose of the tutorial.
