Hi Gnome Team + Hopki

I'm sure there is a way to do this, but my brain power
is struggling.

Basically I have a load of images (approx 200) in a art gallery on a wall (in a pano)
and want to use a/one External Loader to view them individually via Poly Hotspots triggers, then on close viewer clear and bring in new artwork.
Is this possible? I can do it one by one but would have 200 External viewer windows in my skin.

Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Greg

Hi Greg,
Have a look at this forum post: viewtopic.php?p=60188#p60188
It uses one external image loader, you just add all the images as assets, then call up the image you want using the Poly Hotspot description text box.

Hi Hopki

I've been using the pop loader which is working great!
I'm just wondering if possible to create a Text placeholder, picking up
Hotpots "Title" to be displayed. (bottom left hand). See attached.
Its work, but as son as mouse moves away from Poly Hotspot it turns off. I need it to stay on till
either closed or next Poly Hotspot selected.

Thanks
Greg

Hi Greg,
The placeholder will only display the text when the mouse is over the polygon hotspot, as you say as soon as you move away the connection is broken and the text will disappear.
You need to use a Set Value action in the container linked to the polygon.
Something like Mouse Click, Set Value, $(hs), to the text box.
So when the mouse is over the polygon and you click, the title is "set" to the text box so now it is hard written so it does not matter if the mouse moves out of the polygon hotspot.

Hi Hopki

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I think I'm doing something wrong.
I've tried what you mentioned but still does the same thing.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Greg

Hi Sorry its me again!

I'm having to create "Custom Properties" for my Polygon Hotspots
and can't get them to show up in a text box within my skin "Image Pop Up" as before explained.
I've watched your video, but don't seem to be able to get them to display. as each PolyHotspot has
different text within.

I've created "Custom Property" which does show up in skin, but when I add to
"Mouse Click - Set Value" nothing shows up in the textbox let alone each different description.
Cant work out what I'm doing wrong, as works with other basic placeholder like $(hs).
