How to view wide photos (scroll left or right to view parts)?

Q. I'm designing a website to promote a business and I have wide photos. What's the easiest way to make it so that the visitor can click on arrows to view other areas of the photo, like google street view? Now I know google used a spherical camera, but is it possible to make that scrolling effect with say javascript or flash?

If anyone has a tutorial they'd like to share, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

A. Might try using a zoom script for your images.

This is a Google search for panoramic viewing scripts:

What are some interesting places to search on google maps & street view?
Q. There are some buildings (White House, museums, etc) where street-view takes you into the buildings. Some gardens, parks etc. What are some good places to take a virtual tour?

A. how bout the Bermuda triangle ....

Does the military check your google search records if your jobs requires a top secret security clearance?
Q. Nothing illegal, but what if they find something that almost all teenage guys search on the internet? What happens?

Thanks! Just curious.

A. Nobody cares that you're looking at porn. As long as it's adult porn. If they find out you've been looking at little kid porn you're probably not getting a TS.

The thing they really care about is if you've been doing anything that can be used to blackmail you. For example, if you've been looking exclusively at gay porn. I'm not implying you're gay, but this has happened before. I know of a Marine who was undergoing a TS investigation. The investigator started talking to his friends and neighbors and discovered that the Marine in question spent an awful lot of time hanging around gay bars and nightclubs. His clearance was denied, because if his closeted lifestyle was discovered by an adversary it could potentially be used to blackmail him into passing secrets.

I saw another answer that they'll use spy satellites to check up on you. That is absolutely ridiculous. If the investigator wants to find out what you've been doing he'll walk down your street and start knocking on your neighbors' doors. He doesn't care what your roof looks like from space.
