I remember that gallery 2 support panorama both static & interactive via java viewer however I am looking for flash panorama support so I can upload the swf files directly made by other commercial applications such as Krpano & flash panorama viewer.

Ideal would be to have an interactive viewer module build into gallery so he user can just upload the spherical image in jpeg format & rest all gets displayed in interactive panorama.

Some site are having this option such as
http://pan0.net/index.php
http://www.360cities.net

Does v3 supports virtual tours in flash format?
Any sample websites showcasing gallery 2/3 with interactive panorama content?

any other helpful link related to the topic.
Thanks

There isn't a module for this in G3 yet. It's not on the slate for the core devs to create, someone would need to write it.

Does v2.3 have such a module which can do this in flash?

I could only find the PTviewer done in java which is now days not installed on computer by default.

I only know of this:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:panorama

I believe that also requires Java though.

In G2 just upload the swf file. If the browser understand it, it will display it.

Here is an example of a SWF file:

You did not mention that the swf file need a external xml file.
I don't know much about swf so can't comment about xml linking.
