Hotspot question

[dougie]

Hi Denis

First off, im a real noob when it comes to flash...so please bear with me! :roll:

I'm creating an offline presentation CD rom, and part of it is going to be a CG panorama. So far so good, I've got the panorama loading fullscreen & even managed to put a hotspot in it...what I'm hoping to do is make the hotspot 'close' the panorama and open another .swf file. .....(bit like the _root.LoadMovie command) - Is this possible? (i've tried the LoadUrl...but i dont want it to open in a browser..i want it to open in the flash player.

Thanks in advance

Hm. Not so easy if the panorama is not a part of other movie (and will be possible for only 2.0 version).
The single way I can see is to use fscommands, you need to make a Flash hotspot with a button:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "new.exe");
fscommand("quit", "");
}
This will close the panorama and run new.exe (or new.bat) to run the next application.

Thanks Denis....I actually figured out another way, which seems to work. I made the hotspot a swf anim, that is a button that opens another swf. Seems to work.

Thanks for your feedback. Great product by the way, totally ideal for what I'm working on!
