Timed intervals for popup images

[rpinkham]

I built a navigation tips screen (png image) which appears at the beginning of my pano and disappears when clicked.

I want my image to disappear or fade out after 20 seconds or so, in case the viewer does not click to hide it.

I have not been able to locate any kind of interval function in the skin actions dropdowns. Help would be appreciated.

You might try in the skin editor, When the person's finger or mouse pointer passes over (not pressed or clicked)

mouse enter = Hide Element

and it will disappear until the next pano is loaded

A timer is currently not an option in the skin editor. See issue Issue #434

Adding a timer to dismiss the tip might not be the best action if it something you want the user to see. I often open links in a new tab, give them some time to load while I continue to read the current page that had the link. If the timer is triggered and the tip disappears before the tab is visited the user will not see the tip.

You might be able to write your own javascript inside the html page to hide the tip screen if it is open.
Have a look at skin.js for ideas of what is possible.

Maybe by adding an action to OnLoaded to Goto URL and call JavaScript

see what others have done accessing elements in a pano from html page.
