How Can I Embed a Flash Virtual Tour on a Page?

JCHolcomb · January 28, 2014

I create virtual tours for businesses and real estate, using Real Tour Vision's "Fusion" system. One of the links they provide to a finished tour is specifically designed to use in an html iframe. With "old" SmugMug, I was able to embed a tour on a gallery page with no problem. I have been trying to do the same thing with "new" SmugMug, but so far, nothing works. After searching this forum for about a half hour, it seems that new SmugMug does not support iframes. If that is the case, and if there is no workaround for this, I will have to abandon SmugMug as the host for my business website. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a sample of one of my tours:

You can't embed Flash on SmugMug. You could link your visitors to open the tour link from your post in a new window though, which seems like would provide about the same experience anyway. You could also set up a third-party website and put it on one of your other subdomains, link to it from your SmugMug site, and embed the iframe there instead. That would allow you to add navigation links and things around the tour to bring people back to your SmugMug site.

Did you know that http://jcholcombphotography.com/ points to a server which isn't online, hosted at 209.79.45.23? (looks like a residential broadband connection to me). This'll make it harder for people to find you by typing in your domain name (i.e. if they omit the "www.").

Looks like you made a typo when setting it up, your @ record should be 208.79.45.23 (note that the first number is off by one).
