Hi all,
my customer asked me, if the polygon hotspots can be made pulsating.

I only found some very old postings here that refer to obsolete swf constructions.

--- So my question ... can polygon hotspots be made pulsating?

--- Or ... can pinned pictures be made pulsating (animated gif?) and can they call actions via the proxy mechanism?

greetings from germany
Chris

Hi Chris,
Please see the project attached.
This uses a timer to show and hide each polygon hotspot.
Note the Red Polygons link nodes.

If you gave all the polygons the same ID, for example, "Poly_Image", then the one action in the timer would affect all polygons with that ID.
The attached project is using different IDs for each polygon so the project needs a separate action for each.
Regards,

Hi Chris,
If you want to get creative you can use a numbered variable and variable changed trigger and action filters, to create a chasing effect, so not all show and hide at once.
Have a think about how you can do this, but if you need help just shout.

Okay I had a go at creating a chasing effect, can you take a look and give me some feedback. I'm sure you will have a more elegant solution :D .

Hi Tony,
Not much to change, but if I was going to do this to make this faster to build I would create the first Hide One action with no action filter.

Then copy the action and paste one for all the other Polygon Hotspots, changing the polygon it will hide, Poly02, Poly03 etc.
These actions are to be above the show actions in the list so the first thing that will happen is all the polygons will hide.
Then the show action will show the required polygon depending on the variable count.

The above screenshot shows all the actions in the timer so the only element in the skin is the timer.
Also, just because, I use a Module Operation to create a loop rather than an action with an action filter.

What would have been ideal would be able to use a regular expression to hide all the polygons in one action, but as you can just copy and paste it's not a big deal.
That said a feature request has been added to be able to use regular expressions in the hide one action.

Meanwhile i have made the "chris pano" a chasing effect by myself.

The most difficult part has been to find out that the timer value must have a decimal point, and not a decimal comma for fractions of a second ;-) , this took me three hours $%&&§%/$

After that the rest of it has been easy.

greetings, chris
