hotspots own quality motion?

[jaaaab]

hi

is there a way to keep quality motion to high for hotspots while qualitymotion is to low for the panorama?

I'm curious about this too...

I'm using a set of small PNG files, to simulate a button with rollover states. Using "depth", along with "onOver" and "onPress", etc., it basically works -- though I notice a lag in response, _especially_ when at fullscreen.

It would be much easier to just use a small SWF with buttons in place; but I hold off on that because its quality is tied to the panorama's.

?

Adobe Flash Player applies the antialiasing for the final screen only, there is no chance to apply the smoothing partially.

But you can convert your hotspots to bitmaps (antialiasing dosn't affect bitmaps if they are not scaled or rotated).

Hey Denis:

Thanks!

I see, about bitmapping things. I understand that it will work, but it affects things like combo boxes, animations, and so on.

I suppose the only real workaround would be to embed things as separate SWFs in the same page -- though that loses a lot of the fun of layering/transparency within the panorama.

As far as using multiple hotspot images to mimic button functionality -- PNG images, not SWFs -- any insight to making them more responsive? Also, to using an onReleaseOutside kind of thing?

...The button at bottom right is using my 3-state layering 'effect'.

I think onReleaseOutside can be emulated, so you have onRelease (both onRelease and onReleaseOutside) and onClick (onRelease only). You can start some action for onRelease and disable it for onClick. Without onClick event this will make onReleaseOutside.

Hi I'm new to this forum so I hope I'm doing this correctly.
Denis said you can convert your hotspots to bitmap. If hotspots need a jpg, png, or gif file associated with them then surely they are bitmaps. Is there a vector version?

You can convert any vector shape into png file format using Flash or Illistrator.

Print screen as a last resort. :)
