I am looking to add an icon within the skin editor that (OnClick) will load a web page into a container.
How do I go about doing this?

Hi,
The button can have a set value action to a text box.
The value can be an iframe that will load the external page.
The web component does this but with point hotspots.
Under the skin, configuration select open the website in an iframe.

My apologies... I'm not sure I understand.

Within the pano, I have hotspots that have an ID of "Website". When those hotspots are clicked it sets the url to what is in the description text area. I'm looking to call up the same ID, only using an image within the skin editor. Once it's clicked I'm hoping I can get it to behave in the same way.

Before we go any further please can you tell me more about what should happen with this button?
Should it call up the same web page in every node of a different website in different nodes?
What should the customer experience be?

I've attached a quick screen captured video to help illustrate. I just want to be able to have the image/icon of the game controller that is inside the skin file, to behave exactly like the red button that is first clicked in the video.

Here is how Pano2VR is showing the websites. (See attached video) The "description" on the hotspot (which has the url) is driving which web page loads into the "Website" container.

So, I guess the question is... How do I add "Description" text (from within the skin editor), to specify the url that will go into the "Website" container to pull up that page?

Hi,
Use a set value action, the value is the iframe to the text box.
But you still have not said if it will be the same for all nodes.

I have different nodes for bringing up web pages, & youtube videos. This button would be for the "Website" node.

You could put the URL in the user data, as an example the Source text box.
The button then can have the action mouse click, goto URL $(us).
This means each pano can have a different URL.
