Thanks for all the tips, I definitely have lots more homework to do.
Yes, the panos were done in live stage, but it's the first time we used
it so not to familiar with all that's possible.
I also had no idea that you could pass the url as parameters in the html
page, sounds simple.
Cheers,
Jan

The thing with LSP (QuickTime for that matter) is that the event
handler script must be hard coded.
You can use QTLists (XML) to send the URLs to the QTVR movie. You
can then have a custom event handlers that depending on the hotspot
that was clicked, retrieves the correct URL from the QTList. For
this to work your QTList and hotspots must be somewhat married, so
each hotspot retrieves the correct value from the QTList that was
sent.
And yes, all this is done in LSP.
