Tool tips sticky

[ccmas]

The new plugin from Denis is great but as reported in the Blog by DavidGibson who noticed:
"a glitch with the tooltip not fading after a loadpano action (this is with a non static hotspot, box object, distorted). The toolip persists even after the second pano is loaded. This doesn’t happen if I move the mouse away from the hotspot before the second pano finishes loading."
Ricardo had cleverly fixed this by inserting
hotspots.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doOut, false, 0, true); under line 34

As I do not possess Flash I cannot edit the source. I'm presuming this has to be added to the Hotspots.swf file.

Please could some kind sole add this and attach to the Forum? I'd be very greatful as it's so easy to add tips this way....Tx

If you download the extensibleTooltips from flashpanos.com, it is Denis' Tooltip plugin, but extended, and with that bug fixed.

Many thanks for this. It did address most of the problem but then I had to add my hotspots.swf layer later to make it perfect.

ALSO thanks for pointing me in the direction of all your great tips - much appreciated. I look forward to trying them out.

Hey Zephyr,

thanks for your efforts with this (and other) plugin(s).

I am still experiencing this problem (extensible tooltips; distorted hotspot showing its tooltip while new pano is loading; hotspots gets unloaded using the linked-parameter, but its tooltip stays visible until user hovers over another hotspot with tooltip).

Is this case (hotspot unloaded by FPP) also supposed to be covered from that bug fix?

Regards, Philipp

Exactly what phberlin said :(
If this issue goes away the plugin will go from brilliant to fantastic for me.

Ok, I found why the tootips were still sticky on my tour.
Using Zephyr's tooltipsZ_aifos.zip
Problem: Click on hotspot that opens another pano without moving the mouse and the tooltip remained into the next pano moving along with the cursor.
Reason: The tour loads every pano with its own XML file eg. loadPano(PanoName=pano&xml_file=pano.xml)
The hotspot (with tooltip) appeared in both the current and destination pano xml, but linked only to the current pano. Just my laziness to not remove irrelevant hotspots from the destination xml.

Hhm, the problem also occurs with only one "main" XML (so only with loadPano(PanoName=pano) and with hotspots that are linked to that very node while in the new pano they're not present...
