layer between 2 hotspots (layers)

[ftrippie]

Hi there,

Question; how can I have an element 'sandwiched' between two hotspots?

Let me explain; I am using a hotspot to make a 1 coloured background to cover the pano. This I do to show still photos on a plain background. So, there I already have 2 hotspots; the background and the photo. In between these two hotspots, I want to have an external plugin; on top of the background hotspot and behind (hidden by) the photo hotspot.
Idealy, I would be helped by loading the layers like:
layer1 = hotspots.swf (for the background hotspot)
layer2 = external.swf (the external plugin)
layer3 = hotspots.swf (all the other hotspots, on top of all else)
But that doesn't seem to be possible.

I could load the background using a pano of 1 colour, but I noticed that using a hotspot is soooooooo much faster, especially via internet.

Any clue?

Cheers,

If you can load your "external plugin" as a <spot> or <box>, then I would simply use the "depth" attribute on each.

<spot id="spot1" depth="0"></spot>
<spot id="spot2" depth="1"></spot>
<spot id="spot3" depth="2"></spot>

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for responding.
And nope, I am afraid I can't. It's an adapted slideshow plugin from Zephyr with it's own loader.

I just been looking. There are other plugins (like fov.swf or glassMeter) loading their own images. I just need a simple plugin to load an image the size of the screen which I can load as layer1 and turn on and off at my command.
The fov.swf might even work, but i can't seem to turn it on or off, other than by hotspot appointment....

Sorted already,

Used the same code for as the slideshow plugin to create another plugin and load it at level1. And used that to load the background layer.
