Creating virtual tours on the internet

Question

Is Director the best program for creating virtual tours out
of panoramic shot jpg's? If not, what is? Flash? Fireworks?

Answer 1

Director can certainly do it, and you could make use of
director's 3d hardware capabilities. If your panoramic images are a
cylindrical map, spherical map or cube map, you'd probably get best
results by using the image as a texture mapped to the inside faces
of the appropriately shaped 3d primitive (cylinder, box or sphere).
You might also want to look into quicktime VR, if you don't
want to get into the programming side of things.
