i found out that i should not add the "http://" in the URL but now, the URL gets append. I tried using google.com with the mouse click action and google.com gets appended to my own site's URL making a long string of a non existant URL...404 of course.

Hi
Had a quick look, Hummmm

Structure seems to be the problem, what I mean by that is if I explain how I would do it.

First I make a folder and name it after the pano, say “building “

I put all my html and swf files in the folder, including the JS file.
So let’s say I have three .html files called “ground”, “first” and “second”, named after the floors.

I would open the skin editor and on the picture or button would set the following:

For the ground floor picture or button:
Source = Mouse Click
Action = Go To URL
URL: = ground.html
Target = _self

For the First Floor picture or button you would change the URL to frirst.html and then second.html for the third picture or button.

Why?
The html files are in the same folder so when clicked they see the file name and file extension, e.g. ground.html. There is no need to add http, or www.
When you click a button and you want to replace the ground floor with the first floor than add _self as the target.

Go to http://www.hopkimedia.co.uk/Mini%20Tour ... groom.html to see one of mine in action, I will up load the skin file for this.

Hoped this helped.

Hi forgot to add,
If you want an external link to open like google.com then you need to add the http:// at the start. http://www.google.com I would set target to _blank, to open in a new window.
It does not work locally, but when put on a server it works fine.
The same when sending e-mails, mailto:anyone@e-mail.com . Works on server but not local.

See example http://www.hopkimedia.co.uk/Test%20Pano ... Panos.html

Hot spot over man and a white button in the pano both go to my website. Both use the URL http://www.hopkimedia.co.uk, Target _blank

Cheers
