I got Poly HS with enter/leave --> show/hide box. When I hover, the box flickers on and off.

Anyone ever seen this before?

The hs are on the trophies.

This happens when the splash screen covers cursor so the Mouse Leave action is executed.

Hi,
Just to expand on what Jare has said it is because the splash screen is covering the poly so triggering a mouse leave action, if this happens over the poly area and the mouse is moved a fraction this causes the mouse enter action to show it agin, this is what is causing the flickering.

The fix:
1) Remove the Hotspot Proxy ID from the splash screen and only have the action, mouse leave, hide self.
2) Now add a node marker to the skin and give it the Hotspot Proxy ID. Also give it the action mouse enter, show element, splash screen.
Works great but you have to mouse enter and leave the splash screen to hide it.

However, if this was me...
I would use the above fix but I would use mouse click actions rather than enter and leave.
The reason being that this will give the viewer the option to see the splash screen or not, but knows its there because of the information cursor shown when you enter a poly.
For better viewer feed back of the active area set the poly to show current so it becomes visible on hover.

Just my 2 pennies worth.
Regards,
Hopki
