If I have a group of thumbnails that open a new window which contains my tour and screen tint to just showing it in a medium sized window, what is the call I can put into the skin to close that window leaving the web page open behind it. I know I can close the screen tint, but how do I close the actual new window I've opened from the thumbnail using the skin?

Hi Russ,
If you have a thumbnail in your web page that opens a popup tour you can add a close button in the skin of the tour to close itself.
Use the Go To URL action and enter the following code:
The attached project has an index page that has links to open the Flash and HTML5 panoramas in the output folder.
The skin used in both Flash and HTML5 outputs has a close button with the above code.

Hope this helps.

Hopki

Hi Hopki, I tried this and it didn't work for me, has something changed with newer versions of Pano2VR?

Thanks Dave, I think I understood enough of that to know I can't do what I am trying to do, close a window opened by an html page. Thanks for clearing that up for me
