bind one image to multiple hotspots

[stan]

Hi,

is there a way to bind one image (or text object etc.) to multiple hotspots (I am using HTML 5 export)? Of yourse in skin editor I can assign * hotspot proxy ID to the image, but in this case all hotspots will be bind to the same image. But I need some hotspots to be bind to one image, group of other hotspots to other image etc. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks for help,

Stan

If anyone knows the answer to this it would be extremely helpful.

Right now, you can only have one style of proxy. If you want different text in the boxes, different formatting between boxes, or one hotspot to open a new image and one to have hover text, there is no good solution to my knowledge.

There is a work around for text and small images. If you want different text like a bold header followed by normal body, then write what you want to do in the title box of your hotspot. Write it like you would in html:

Code: Select all

<b>Title Text</b></br></br>body text

This will also work with small image files if you use iframes provided that you can still hover over the button. This won't really help you if you want one style to be hover text and another to be clickable transitions with hover text.

Hi,
Im thinking have an external loader to show the picture, use the Proxy ID *.
But the file path to the image can be set in the Hotspots target text field.
So the same loader pops up every time but the image can be different depending on the path in the Target.

The same thing for a text box, but say use the Hotspot title for the text to be displayed in the skin.

What about just general formatting? Like I said, I'm trying to have multiple hotspot styles that are very similar and it seems like that's not a possibility any more. Simply changing the position of the proxy in the tree (in the skin editor) changes what ALL the hot spots do. Here is an example:

You'll notice that the first example has the proper text but EVERY hotspot is now clickable when only the center should be. If I simply move the non-clickable hotspot lower than the clickable hotspot, all hotspots become hover only.

I figured this out. The problem was that none of us were utilizing the SkinId feature in the hotspot editor or labeling our hotspot proxy styles with that ID feature either. If you leave the SkinId field blank and then leave the ID in the editor blank, the script puts out a call for the style that matches a blank field (which all styles would). Then, since all styles have the same name, the script just grabs the one at the bottom of the list ({if Point01.....{if Point02....}else Point03}).

Also, you can use the hotspot editor's SkinID function to label multiple hotspots with the same SkinID. This would allow you to use the same styling from one hotspot across multiple hotspots. From there, you can label a different hotspot with a different SkinId giving the the ability to have one singular hotspot that is different from a multitude of others. Or you can make them all different. The key lies with the SkinID.


There isn't an entry or tutorial explaining what the SkinID function does. I don't think it's covered in the hotspot video either. Do you think you could add that sometime in the future? It's pretty important if you want different formatting for each hotspot.

I guess this needs more explanation.
