I am attempting to implement a four item drop down menu for my panorama tour at http://www.ptest6.com/panos/output/seaColony1tour.html using Pano2VR Pro BETA 4.5, the “dropdown_menu_simple.ggsk” skin I downloaded from http://tinyurl.com/kkocagz, , and the skin editor delivered with Pano2VR Pro Beta 4.5 . I’m almost there. I think the only thing left is some debugging. I’m experiencing two unusual behaviors.
  • 1. Sometimes all four panoramas correctly appear in the drop down menu and sometimes just three of the four panoramas appear.
    2. For some reason, you must double click to select a panorama from the drop down menu and navigate to it.
    Does anyone know how to “fix” these last two little problems?

Hi,
If all start from the same X/Y location, then the open action will move all the text boxes down all at different Y values.
The close action should move them all to X/Y = 0/0

Hello Hopki,
Many thanks for your reply. While I am not familiar with all the terminology used in discussing skins and/or the skin editor, I am pretty sure that all four of my menu items do start at the same X/Y location of 5/8 (for "menu_select_title") and 5/7 (for "menu_active"). Also, all such positions for all four menu items match. Lastly, if one of them did not match, I would expect the drop down menu to "always" fail to display that menu item. My problem is that four (4) menu items are displayed, then three (3) menu items are displayed, then four (4) menu items are displayed, and so on.

Also, I must "double click" on a dropped down menu item to navigate to the desired panorama. Is is possible to configure this drop down menu skin to navigate to the desired menu item with just a single click?

I found one in the "drop down menu - Simple skin" ---- drop down menu child item called menu_button_x in the properties |Action | Source - specify mouse Click instead of mouse double click from the list of source items.

Maybe there is another location.

In Skype I left you same comment.

REF: drop down Menu .zip created by Martin. It requires 2 mouse clicks to see the panorama. 1 click for relocating the active "o" to the clicked menu item. 1 click to load and see the panorama.

Ok.. figured out changing the "menu_button_a with parameters for 1 visible and 0 for hide from Source of MOUSE CLICK to MOUSE OVER preserves the 1 mouse click. You will need to do the changes for all the menu items a, b, c and d.

REF drop down menu.zip created by Martin. After Peter uploaded his panoramas with the new drop down menu he observed clicking "Other panorama" menu 4 menu items dropped down. After selecting another panorama.. he clicked "close menu" and the menu collapsed. Click again and only 3 or the 4 menu items expanded down. "Hence his SUBJECT Sometimes 3 Sometimes 4 items"

You may also check the 3 or 4 . http://tinyurl.com/k9fyhfb
