Hi Thomas, Hopki!
I have this problem:

http://www.geopalstudio.com/work/palov/f.html

the intro text is OK, I made it so there is no scroller, but if it was just few sentences bellow the line the scroller was OK!
Now if you click next on the red hotspot, you will see a text field with scroller. When you try to move it it bugs and goes outside the text field on all browsers I have under windows. Any comment? It bugs in text fields with long texts.
Thanks a lot!
Best, George

p.s. any hints on better aligning images in text fields?! Now text goes around the image, not under it... couldn't solve that either.

Hi,
What code are you using to embed the images?
It may be this that is causing the problem.

Thank you Hopki!

Here is part of the code:

Code: Select all

<b>01.03.2009</b>
I am painting the back side of Stefan Stambolov`s monument, from a window of a café, in the beginning of the Samovodska Charshia street in Veliko Tarnovo.<br>
<img src="http://www.geopalstudio.com/p1.jpg" /><br><br>

Later on, somewhere on Tsarevets hill, in the same city, I am painting a door.
Though using breaks doesn't work so well... That's why I asked if there is some "good" code that works for embedding photos in text fields the right and pretty way...
I want photo and bellow it text, not around it :roll:
I couldn't find the answer in the Wiki

Thank you very much Hopki, appreciate it! It's just strange... about long texts with images giving this "bug", but might be my "great html skills", just have to figure this out with your help. 3rd party scroller is not flexible at all.
Also I bet you're a busy man!

Hi G,
Ok had a good look into this and its the img src code is braking the Flash output. Just looks like Flash does not want to play ball sorry.
Looks ok in the HTML5 output if thats any help?

The only way to do this is use a rectangle and position images and text, please see attached example.
This also uses the change relative position action for scrolling the content up and down.

I am using external loaders and text boxes, so you can dynamically change the content using a set text action to change the file path for the external loaders and set new text for the two text boxes. Use the two buttons bottom right of the window to see this in action.

This also lends itself for making quite a fancy menu as the external loaders can have a open next panorama action.
You could also make several versions, then you would only have to copy and paste the required version in whichever project you are working on.

I have use the external loader 200 x 200 so any image remapped to that size can be used so very simple and quick to modify.

This works in both Flash and HTML5.
You may see similar appearing soon.

Regards,
Hopki

Thank you Hopki for your help, MUCH appreaciated!
I see what you've done, very clever workaround. :idea: Yes, seems flash doesn't behave well with textfields + images. I have a flash gallery which also had similar problem, quote from the other forum:
flash textfields dont really support anything else than basic text formatting and the <img> tag anyway ... Flash textfields simply align text to the right of an image, and will only flow it below if the image takes full width. There is a workaround to fix this however, by using <textformat>.
Code
<textformat leading="100"><img src="src" width="50" height="100" /></textformat><br/>

In the code above, wrap the <img> inside a textformat, and make sure the leading attribute is set to the same height as the image. Also make sure you have a <br/> afterwards for the new line. This should make sure the text appears below the image.
I tried that and it didn't work again, so you've found maybe the only working solution. Thank you again!
Best, G

I had a look at what Martin made. Couldn't quite figure it out.

Basically it's a box that can be used as a popup that can contain a mix of images and text that gave been pasted into the field in html code?
What I'm trying to figure out is there a way of updating that text and image info without having to re-render the pano?

Right now I can drop popup photos into the online project folder and the photos are picked up automatically each time the panorama is run. Being able to update copy as well as photos in a scrollable text field would be marvellous.

Rob, Martin has used external image loader box which picks an image with the given name. Thus the image can be replaced and will appear on the pano without rerender.
About the text- I wonder the same, can someone link a txt file inside a textfield or another "loading filed"...

Sorry chaps sadly no,
however nothing stopping you using text made in Photoshop and exported as an image. This means you can use any font you want too.

This is what came out:

Thanks again Hopki. I might someday put arrows and stuff, but for now it's ok like that. This "demo" skin should go to the skin section as "advanced scroller" :)
Best. G
