Reducing total skin size?

[HMS Beagle]

I was wondering if it's possible to edit the xml file for the skin so I only have 1 image for all my hotspots and 1 set of map images?
Will there be any problems calling the exact same image for all hotspots?
I really need to put my skin on a diet.
thanks

Has anyone else tried this?

use external images
use skin load on first panorama

Hi Beagle,
Hope you are well, Tong is correct I would also use an external loader and point to one image.
However this does ask the question, If all your hotspots and maps use the same image, why do you have more than one of each?

This sounds like there is a better and simpler way to do this, but without seeing your skin I can not say for sure.

Thanks for the reply's. If this was for myself I would externalize.
Basic workflow... I add the same image for all the hotspots(60+ at this point and about to triple) When I open the skin there are 60+ individual images, each labeled for a hotspot. Is this not correct? This is how it has always been, but this is the first time I've built a tour this size.

Hi,
If you have a Map with hotspot images then I would use the external loader to use the same graphic for all of them.
Each external loader can have the required actions for the individual hotspot.
