Hello

1. What would be the best approach to:
- Hide all HotSpots with button click? (So that users can enjoy panorama without any UI or button)
- Automatically hide HotSpots after specified time of inactivity, which shows again after user input?
(and not to show em if hide hotspots button is clicked)

2. What would be the fastest way to upgrade 150 Flash panoramas into HTML5?
I have this older project: http://www.krk360.com/ where I placed many panos in google maps,
and click on each location opens flash version in lightbox.
I have Pano2VR project file and equirectangular image for each panorama,
and I would like to avoid manual creation of new P2VR project for each one,
and to avoid to have all panoramas in one P2VR project.
Does P2VR still have some sort of batch operation?

My goal is to use similar code for google map but to pass only folder name to index.php file so that one skin and one set of js/xml files are used for all panos.

Thanks,
Regards

Hi,
I have moved this topic as you posted in the Object2VR forum.
In Pano2VR 5 you can use a variable True/false to show and hide hotspots.
The button would have a mouse click set variable value, variable name, Not action to toggle between them
You can also use a timer to set the variable to false after a time out.

For your second question, Pano2VR 5 does not have a batch window, instead we have the ability for you to save an output template.
So you can build an output using the setting and skin you want.
At the top of the HTML5 output you will see a green page icon, Save current output settings as a template.
This lets you save this output configuration as a output template.

The next tim you need it just select the green + button and select the template.

You can also remove the input image an then save as a droplet.
Put all your input images into one folder and drop them on the droplet to process all images.
Regards,
Hopki

Hi Hopki

1. Yay, I'm finally using variables, this opens A TON of new possibilities. :D

Just one quick question: Is it possible to toggle true false variable with one button?
Something like: if true set false else set true (show_hs ? true : false;)
In tutorial there are two buttons for this: one for hiding and one for showing hotspots,
but I wonder if this could be done with one button only with one Mouse click Action set, maybe in expert mode?
(need examples)
I always like to "optimize" things, read: Spend much more time on somethiong than necessary :)

2. Your answer solved my question

Thanks a lot for the hints.

Hi Hopki

Other projects lured me away from this "task", but latest one brought me back in.
So I remembered that I've asked some time ago, went here and voila:
- one button show/hide solution explained and works OK.

Thanks,
with delay :)
