Hi Noel. If I knew the solution to your issue, I would help... but... :( unfortunately I have no idea. Good luck!

[Noel]

thanks for replying tho and getting some feedback. iv been on with this for a couple of weeks nearly and still carent crack it. i was hoping that it just could be something to write in the xml but dont think it is possible after spending this long on it.

kind regards Noel

i guess you need to write a flash application for that, which you need to load into the fpp, like you do the hotspots layer.
And then you should be able to hook up to the click event of the hotspot you want to monitor and assign your own code to it,....

how would i hook my own flash up to interact with the hotpots that are on my FPP.

many thanks Noel:)

Hi Noel:

Do a search on this forum for "cheat sheet" or "cheatsheet", and you should turn up a slew of posts regarding fpp-->hotspot<--fpp communication.

There are also several tutorials that might be helpful, over at flashpanos.com:

HTH!

hi there looked at the embed pano etc and helped me slightly but still doesnt help with most of the things i need to do.

i have my own .fla file that has my fpp on it and when i click a hotspot in the embeded fpp i want it to load a new swf file of mine(not fpp) in the fla file that has everything embeded. this will load over the top of the fpp and go to a specific place, in my own swf(not fpp) depending on what hotspot was clicked in the fpp.

i hope this describes what i am trying to do better.

any help would be greatly apreciated

many thanks Noel

Hi Noel:

:)

In your container FLA, you'll need to set up listeners for the FPP "hotspots" object. Depending on your container setup, the 'path' to hotspots will be slightly different, but the idea is the same:



/* warning: pseudocode alert! :) */
hotspots = panoController.externals.hotspots;

hotspots.stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, myResizeFunction);

hotspots.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, myOverFunction, false, 0, true);
hotspots.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, myOutFunction, false, 0, true);
hotspots.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClickFunction, false, 0, true);


Then for example, in your "myOverFunction", you get the target of the mouse event -- that is, which hotspot was moused over.


function myOverFunction(e:MouseEvent):void {

trace("My name is: " + e.target.id);
trace("My url is: " + e.target.url);

}
