Dynamic text

[xt-ric]

Hi,
I'm a new french customer and this panorama engine is very great.

Just a question :

how can i load text dynamically ? (I would like to load little text in a box when the mouse rolls over a hotspot)

Thanks a lot
Eric

You can do it with Actionscript if you know Actionscript.
But the most simple variant is to make an additional hotspot (image with text) and change its visibility on over/out. Like this:

<spot id="image" url="image.jpg" onOver="tip.visible=1" onOut="tip.visible=0" pan="0" tilt="0" />
<spot id="tip" url="text.png" visible="0" pan="5" tilt="5" />

You can use some effect for "text" appearance using, say, alpha or blur parameter. :)
Read more about it in Hotspots tutorial.

Great question Eric,

I was thinking this too.

Denis (or others) can you see my error here? I have a distorted image that I want to do a mouse over tip for:

<box id="floorplan" linked="images/Living_cube" url="images/floorplan.png"
pan="91.00"
tilt="-36"
distance="2.43"
orientation="right"
rotationX="-172"
rotationY="-96"
rotationZ="180.00"
depth="-170"
scale="1"
saturation="-0.5"

onOver="maptip.visible=1" onOut="maptip.visible=0"

onClick="openMe()"
openMe="hidePic(); global.hidePic=pic1.closeMe; goUp(); scale=0.9,700; onClick=closeMe;"

closeMe="global.hidePic=; goDown();
pan=91,700;
tilt=-36,700;
rotationZ=180,700;
rotationX=-172,700;
rotationY=-96,700;
distance=2.43,700;
scale=1,700;
onClick=openMe;"



/>

<spot id="maptip" url="images/floorplan_over.png" visible="0" pan="5" tilt="5" />

Maybe I am trying to do too much at once? Not sure.
