help with quicktime embeded
I have a quicktime movie that is embedded in a page.
the move looks fine, but its a QTVR type mov so when you move your mouse over it the screen pans to the left or right.
however, if you pan all the way to the right it will wrap around and start over. this looks weird. is there a parameter that I can add to stop the pan when it gets to 360 degrees or 0 degrees (stopping it left or right) so that it does not wrap around?

I should imagine it would have to be something you specify when you export or create the film in quicktime itself, rather than via the plugin control.

The software that creates the movie does not have any settings for control during creation. There is several embed commands for quicktime like, pan, fov, correction, etc. I was hoping there were commands for panmax and panmin. I figured other webmasters must have run into the need for them.

All the options available for quicktime via the embed tag are available here:

I think you need to specify the range of the pan using the pan option...

Teh pan option only sets the starting location for the view. that is it tells the qtvr to start at locatoin 180 or 90, pan=0 would start the initial view at 0 degrees in the picture. However you can then pan pass this limit if you choose to.
I know there are hidden or nonpublished params for quciktime, I was hoping someone might know what the one is for setting max and min pan values.
if I figure it out I'll post it here.
