ComboBox Options

Hi, I was playing with the Combo Box plugin and I noticed that in the demos it loaded sphere images - is there a way to load different XML files through it instead. I use tiles for my tours, so loading sphere wouldn't work for my app.

Hi,

yes, you can apply any actions to a combobox item - loading a xml, a image, changing something...

at the moment I recommend this way to set actions for a combobox:
  • add the combobox items dynamically in the onloaded event
  • assign a action for each item
here is a example:

Source code

 
1

3
4
5
6
7

10
11

<plugin name="combobox"
        url="%SWFPATH%/plugins/combobox.swf" 
        align="lefttop" 
        x="10" 
        y="10" 
        width="33%"
        keep="true"
        onloaded="action(setupitems);"
        />
	
<action name="setupitems">
    removeall();
    additem(Item 1, action(item1) );
    additem(Item 2, action(item2) );
    additem(Item 3, action(item3) );
</action>

<action name="item1">
    loadpano(pano1.xml);
</action>

<action name="item2">
    loadpano(pano2.xml);
</action>

<action name="item3">
    loadpano(pano2.xml);
</action>


best regards,
Klaus

PROBLEM: Working with HOTSPOTS and the ComboBox.

Is there a way to change just the comboxbox item name when a hotspot is clicked within a virtual tour? For example:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16

<action name="setupitems"> 
    removeall();
    additem(Garten, action(load1);); 
    additem(Keller1, action(load2);); 
    additem(Keller2, action(load3);); 
    additem(Stuebal, action(load4);); 
</action>
 
<action name="load1"> 
    set(plugin[spotx].x,200); 
    set(plugin[spotx].y,50); 
    set(plugin[radar].x,200); 
    set(plugin[radar].y,50); 
    loadpano(Garten.xml,null,KEEPALL,BLEND(1)); 
    set(plugin[radar].heading,0); 
</action>


When you have this and you use the combobox, then the hotspot adjusts accordingly because it is inside an action. But if you click the hotspot to change the panorama, then the combobox doesn't change the name. So is there something like SETITEM or similar to use to change just the name of the dropdown item in the comboxbox ?

I've tried the following:

Source code

 
1
2

set(plugin[combobox].selectitem(combobox:Exterior Sunset)); 
set(plugin[combobox].selectitem(Exterior Sunset));


doesn't seem to work? Also, when you do capitalize the words, ex: <action name="combobox:Exterior Sunset"> , the capital letters don't work? (see combobox.xml you've provided in the download ZIP file, there are no capital letters)

Hi,

the "set" is wrong
just use only:

Source code

 
1

plugin[combobox].selectitem(combobox:Exterior Sunset);



I know the problem/bug with the capital letters,
a possiblity to fix it at the moment is to use additem() instead of <action name="combobox:...">

Ok, I've tried it without "set" and it still doesn't seem to work; I've tried setting the combo boxes up using both methods. Using the latest 1.0.8 beta 4

Can you please look into this Klaus, maybe provide a working example as well?

THANK YOU! *thumbsup*

Hi Klaus,

You've been of great help, it is much appreciated.

Sorry to come back to this again, but I think your example has bugs to begin with in the first place. In your compiled zip file: krpano/examples/combobox/combobox.html when you load this page and press the "O" and you get a DEBUG: combobox - startplugin same with combobox2.html

So maybe that's why selectitem() doesn't work since it needs to be debugged in the first place?

Hi,

this "DEBUG: combobox - startplugin" message is because I forget to remove the debug traces
in the combobox plugin, and the debugmode is enabled in the beta version

I have made now a simple XML example to demonstrate how the selectitem will work,
change the complete combobox2.xml to this:

Everything is working good now. Just playing with the .FLA file for the combobox, is there a way to change the font family, font color, and the font size? I couldn't find the reference in the actionscript ? *confused*

Ok, so to change the font color to white, where would I put

Source code

 
1

combobox.setStyle("color", 0xFFFFFF);

in the actionscript ? Is it somewhere in the krpano_as3_interface.as ? I'm pretty new to Flash CS3.

Any help would be *w00t*

Hi,

no this needed to be done in the combobox.fla,

open it in Flash CS3,
then open the "actions" window and then the source,
and try to add this line in the startplugin() function, e.g.:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4

function startplugin(event:Event):void
{
combobox.setStyle("color", 0xFFFFFF);
....


best regards,
Klaus

Problems skinning font color of combobox

Hi,

I'm using Krpano 1.0.8, and i'm trying to change the font color of the combobox plugin.

So, i took the combobox.fla (1.0.7) and i changed the AS code to allow the combobox to work in 1.0.7 and all higher versions :

I replaced

Source code

 
1

if ( krpano.get("version") != "1.0.7" )


by

Source code

 
1

if ( krpano.get("version") < "1.0.7" )


Then, i added this line code in the startplugin() function :

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5

function startplugin(event:Event):void
{	
 	combobox.setStyle("color", 0xBFB179);
 	...
}


I saved the fla in .cs3 and then i had a warning alert from Adobe Flash CS4

"The file has data which will be lost in case of saving in Flash cs3 format :
- Metadata of the infobox on the XMP file
Would you like to save in cs3 format anyway ?"

I clicked "yes" and i compiled in .swf.

RESULT : the font color stays in black (default), there's no change

Can someone tell me what i did wrong ? Is it because of the warning alert ?

Thanks for your response

If you talk about the number visible without scrolling it is something I also would be interested in.

Hi,

Use the rowcount attribute... You can view an example on the FOV types examples

Source code

 
1

<plugin name="combobox" url="%SWFPATH%/plugins/combobox.swf" ..... rowcount="10"  />
