Hi

I've just caught up with the rest of the world and purchased v5.2. I've created a test tour which is working well, except for one thing. When you go from one view to the next, I want the new view to start autorotating as it does when the pano first loads. How do I achieve this?

And one small question about the Google map - is it possible to cange the default view from Satellite to Map and change the zoom level?

You can see my test here on the WP section of my website (I was testing the GGPKG plugin as well):

Hi Roy,
The thing with the auto rotate, this worked well in Flash but HTML5 needs a mouse movement to tell the player the mouse is up to start the auto rotate again. The good news is you can add an extra action to start it again.

Source: Mouse Click => Actions: Go To URL => URL: $hu => Target: $ht
Source: Enter => Actions: Stop Auto Rotate => Type; Stop Auto Rotate
Source: Leave => Actions: Start Auto Rotate => Speed: 0.2-°/Frame => Delay: 0.00 => Return to Horizon: Default
Mouse Up => Actions: Start Auto Rotate => Speed: 0.2-°/Frame => Delay: 0.00 => Return to Horizon: Default

The Map zoom level will be introduced in version 6.0 but only in the Map tool in the skin.
Having the map below the pano was the old way of having a map, we now have a map tool in the skin and this is what should be used.
Regards,
Hopki

Thanks Hopki - that's working. There's a delay of about 5secs, even though the Mouse Up and Mouse Leave actions are both set to Delay: 0.00, but at least it does start rotating.

One further question, all of the interior views are set to be looking straight up and down to church (either directly towards, or directly away from the altar) in both Default View and Fly In. But on the transition some of the views are to the side. Do you know what could be causing that?

(I haven't uploaded any of the changes yet.)

Any thoughts on my second question?

Hi Roy,
I can only think of the target view is being used or you have a move to view / set view action somewhere.
This overrides the default views.

The only action on the hotspot button for onclick is the default $hu / $ht

Is there anywhere else that this action could be hiding?

Hi Roy,
Change to hotspot viewer mode and have a look at the target data.

$ht will pick up whatever is here.
