I have an AREA hotpot and I want to display an image when I move over it with mouse.
I tried to place an <img> tag in the text field but it doesn't works. (i think because the area hotspot's text doesn't have multiline and wordwrap properties)

Any idea to solve this problem?

Hi
If your area hotspot is number 1 then this is its ID.

In the skin, place a text box in the editor that will open your picture.
Set it to visible but alpha 0.
Set the actions in the text box to mouse click, toggle element alpha to 1, self.
In the proxy ID box, enter 1, which is the area hotspot ID.

What will happen is that when you enter the area hotspot and click this will link to the text box in the skin and will perform the click action we set earler. It will fade in, clicking the text box will cause it to fade out as we used a toggle action.
regards
Hopki :)
