The Pan action allows you to alter or set the current pan angle (the left to right direction) of a QuickTime VR movie.

Setting up the Pan action:

1. Add the Pan action to your trigger, as described in adding actions. The Pan tab will automatically appear when you add the action.

2. At the top of the Pan tab is the Object List. Click the name of the object that you want to change the pan angle of.

3. Click on the Type options in the Type option panel to control how the pan angle is adjusted. Select Adjust Current Position to change the angle relative to the current position. Select Overwrite Current Position to set the angle to a specific value.

4. Use the Direction options to set the direction of the pan angle change. Click on the left or right arrows in the Direction option panel to control the direction of change.

Note:
If the Type option is set to Overwrite Current Position, this section is disabled.

5. Use the Angle option to set the desired angle. Click on the angle indicator and drag it clockwise or anti-clockwise in the Angle option panel to set an angle

 The degree of the angle is displayed in the angle box beside the angle indicator. You can type an angle directly into this box if required.

 The maximum range of the pan angle is 0° to 360°, however the actual range that a QuickTime VR movie supports is set by the movie author. Any value outside the supported range will be clipped to the valid range.
