Re: Image and Text as a hotspot option

Make the image with text as jpg all together...is the best option, then draw a square with the hotspot editor and using the jpg to display

Re: Image and Text as a hotspot option

angutir,
thanks for the uick replay, my goal is for the hotspot to open the image, and under the image should be a text , this text should be a link (clickable) to an item page on a website.

from what i read, the HTML option in the hotspots does that, but unfortunatly, there is no tutorial whatsoever anywhere on how to use the html hotspot option for beginners

Re: Image and Text as a hotspot option

welcome to the club, yesterday i was playing with html, looking for information, etc... My conclusion it is that i was losing my time, very complicated for such poor results.

Sorry i have no idea how can or if it is possible...

Re: Image and Text as a hotspot option

Hello,

The "HTML" option of hotspots allows you to display images and links.
But remember that your HTML file should be really simple, Flash player does not allow new HTML tags and syntax.
The list of supported HTML tags can be found here :

Re: Image and Text as a hotspot option

Hi. You might want to first try adding some extra to your html code..

        <script>
          embedpano({target:"panoDIV",swf:"yourfilename.swf", wmode:"opaque"});
        </script>

Also, it might work better if you can download the file and and host it in a local folder.. images/134149_1.jpg

This might help.. but you will need to test to see..

Destiny ,
Thank you for the help, it works offline on my computer with your setting, but once uploaded to the server instead of the picture it shows the path to my local computer...

Re: Image and Text as a hotspot option

In the same file structure where you loaded your main files to, you need to create a folder named 'images'
You then need to upload  your 134149_1.jpg into that folder..

BTW, you also need to get rid of the closed tags.. <br/><br/> or change the first closed to open.. <br>

BR stands for line BReak

Also, if you put more closed tags than open, it can cause issues..

Also be aware to make sure ALL tags using this method are closed since swf will not accept it since there are protocols to remember when using the html with ptp and swf. You can change your entire graphic for a swf file if you want, that way you have a lot more options with urls and buttons and where to place images and so on..
