With this action you can change the display mode for the polygon hotspots. The values are:
0 = Always Hidden
1 = Always Visible
2 = Show Current
3 = Show All

Vielen dank.
My last issue with polygon hotspots is the inconsistency of cursor between Flash and HTML. In Flash the user can know he can click on hotspot because the cursor is different whether there is an URL or not, but in HTML5 the cursor is always a hand.

Hi,
In HTML5 you should only get the hand when hovering over active content, other wise it should be the default pointer.
This should show people there is interactivity.
Just checked with on my Mac with Safari, Firefox and Chrome, all are the same, but agreed not the same as Flash.

Yes Hopki, you are right, I meant always when hovering a hotspot.
Having consistency with Flash should not be difficult with HTML/CSS cursor property, I wonder why thomas doesn't implement it.

Hi Alain,
Reading my post I think I did not make it clear what I see. I do see the hand when hovering over active content and the see the default pointer when not.
However please see Issue #705 for Custom Cursors for HTML5.

Yes, we see the same, hand cursor over hotspot and arrow elsewhere.
Thanks for opening issue, but it's different from custom cursor available in the skin, in Flash I haven't defined custom cursors but have different ones wether the hotspot contains an URL or not.
