get current hotspot name

Hi,

when a code/action was called from a plugin or hotspot event (onclick,onloaded,onhover,...) then the attributes of this "caller" plugin/hotspot can be accessed direct,

e.g.

<plugin name="plugin1" ...
        onclick="trace(name);"
        />

or

<hotspots name="hotspot1" ...
          onclick="action(show_my_name);"
          />


<action name="show_my_name">
    trace(name);
</action>

that will work also for all following calls, tweens, delayedcalls, ...

best regards,
Klaus

<hotspots name="hotspot1" ...

          />


<action name="show_my_name">
    trace(name);

Yup the example above works but I can't do nothing much with the variable.
Consider this:

<hotspot name="mytest"....
onclick="action(narrate-ex-info,name)" />


<action name="narrate-ex-info">
	trace(%1);
trace(name);
	trace("%FIRSTXML%/assets/",%1,".mp3");
	txtadd(plugin[soundinterface].toload,%FIRSTXML%,"/assets/",%1,".mp3");
	trace(plugin[soundinterface].toload);
	playsound(auto,"%FIRSTXML%/assets/%1.mp3");
	</action>

When run it produces this output:

INFO: mytest
INFO: mytest
INFO: %FIRSTXML%/assets/mytest.mp3
INFO: %FIRSTXML%/assets/name.mp3
ERROR: soundinterface - loading of "/pano/src/assets/name.mp3" failed

I can't make sense of it.

Hi hitodenashi,

Try using get() in line 8:

<hotspot name="mytest"....
onclick="action(narrate-ex-info,name)" />


<action name="narrate-ex-info">
	trace(%1);
	trace(name);
	trace("%FIRSTXML%/assets/",%1,".mp3");
	txtadd(plugin[soundinterface].toload,%FIRSTXML%,"/assets/",get(%1),".mp3");
	trace(plugin[soundinterface].toload);
	playsound(auto,"%FIRSTXML%/assets/%1.mp3");
	</action>

SAlut.

Oh, ok that worked. Thanks!
BTW, are there other ways of getting the caller/hotspot name?
