A few months ago there was a request that the animation should not be played continuously in a loop. A unique pan with a possible zoom would be useful in order to direct the viewer's attention to special features in the panorama. Is that still in the planning stage?

Hi Harald,
This is already in V6.
• Add a variable to the skin, example: "rotate", true/false, set to true.
• Add actions to any element, best a container:
Start, Start Auto Rotate
Variable Changed, "rotate", Stop Auto Rotate
• In the animation panel add track, "rotate" and just before the end of the animation set a key frame and set to false.
Note it has to be just before and not at the end or it will not work.

What will happen is on open the action, Start, Start Auto rotate will start the animation (thats if animation is selected in the auto rotate tab).
The variable is set to true, when it get to the end of the time line the variable will change to false.
So the Variable Changed action will then stop the auto rotate.

I know this sounds a bit over kill, but this does mean you can do lots of things with this now.
As an example with action filters and a numbered variable you can show and hide pictures and text boxes in an auto tour.
Regards,
Hopki
