Multielement navigation

[Kifo]

Hi,
I tried to build a tour with multiple navigation elements for selecting the panos like
- clickable thumbnail preview
- drop down list
- back and forth button.

Here is the tour for reference:

I failed to install an indicator in the thumbnail preview that highlights the currently active pano (e.g. a green dot or a white frame).
The callenge is to update the indicator if a new pano is activated by using the drop down list or by using the back and forth buttons.

I tried to use a placeholder field in the pano descrption like the comment field for each pano to control the position of the indicator, but this does not solve the problem in HTML5 output. I update te position of the indicator with the "loaded" event, but this works only in flash output.

Does anybody have an idea how to get this done?

Hi, use tags and node markers.
Tag each pano, example pan01, pan02 etc.
Then add a node marker with clone white dot when active and grey dot when inactive.

YES! This is it.
The node marker was not on my radar, but it does the job nicely.
The tour linked in my initial post is now updated with the new indicator.

Thanks Hopki

Hi,
By the way nice use of the masking container which is no longer an active element in the HTML5 output

Hi Hopki,
thanks for your comment on my new surface.

What does this mean: "the masking container which is no longer an active element in the HTML5 output" ?

In HTML5 a container was an active element, in other words if you placed a container in the skin you were unable to click and drag the pano, the container was in the way as it was "Active".

This no longer happens, only the contents of a container are active, the container itself is not.
This makes things like your menu now possible in HTML5, this always worked in Flash.

Ah right, I noticed this odd behavior before and had some trouble to work around this.
This improvement is very wellcome!
