Do You know where I can get/buy flash animated hotspots for creatinbg Virtual Tours? Thanks for help!

Hi,
Do a search in the forum, I have seen one for two.
Also have a look around the commercial offerings forum, if not I am sure someone will step up.

Is there a tutorial on inserting these flash hotspots? Is it done through the skin editor, as with a custom point hotspot?

simple

Hi, tong,
search google for GIF animations --> download ---> convert to SWF using any gif to swf converter. and here are some gif websites may be useful. or you can make your own using flash or photoshop 7.http://www.photoshopbuzz.com/366/animat ... photoshop/

When using these Flash hotspots, do they physically have to reside in the same directory as the resulting Flash or HTML5 pano? Also, while I see how to add them to the skin editor, how do I then correctly reference them in the hotspot editor?

Hi,
Animated SWF for the Flash output and animated GIF of the HTML5 output.

What you can do is use the external image/SWF loader.
For Flash just reference the SWF location and for the HTML5 output just reference the location of the animated GIF.

Use the external image/SWF loader as the Hotspot image in the skin, please see the following link regarding the external loader: http://gardengnomesoftware.com/wiki/Add ... age_or_SWF

You can place a folder on your server with the SWF and GIF's, just make sure the file path in the external image/SWF loader points to the required file.
