Hello,

I would like to create a virtual tour that could automatically play an audioguide (mp3/ogg) after clicking on a hotspot.

I can create a vtour using pictures and linking them by hotspots (via the editor).

But how can I autoplay an audioguiode?

What I would like to create is something similar to that: http://exibit.quirinale.it/qvv/visitavirtuale/palazzo.html

The only thing I managed to do (unsuccessfully) for the moment is that:

1) Create a simple working vtour (two pictures linked by hotspots with the editor)

2) in tour.xml I did as follows:

a) add: <plugin name="soundinterface"
url="%SWFPATH%/plugins/soundinterface.swf"
alturl="%SWFPATH%/plugins/soundinterface.js"
preload="true"
rootpath="/"
volume="1.0"
mute="false"
/>

b) modified: <hotspot name="spot1" url="skin/vtourskin_hotspot.png" ath="-162.027" atv="13.785" linkedscene="scene_foto" onclick="playsound(auto,sounds/audio.mp3);"

But when I click on the hotspot I get "ERROR: soundinterface - loading of /sounds/audio.mp3 failed!"

The audio.mp3 file is in the "sounds" directory

What's wrong with that?

Thanks for your help :-)

Hello Tuur,

yes it was the / on rootpath; by removing it I could hear the audio. Thanks!

But why linkedscene="scene_foto" in the hotspot stuff does not work?

When I click on the spot I can only hear the audio, but I'm not taken to the scene I'm supposed to go...

Maybe is there another way to automatically play a specific audiofile whenever you get into the next scene in a vtour?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks I'm almost there...

is there a chance to put an audio control so a user can silence/stop the audio?

How can the audio be stopped when you move to another position? I tried to put onout="stopallsounds();" both on <hotspot> and <scene name> but it does not stop, moreover if you turn back a new audio is played overlapped to the first one...

I'm sorry to bother you with such a stupid question; I tried to search over the forum but I completely lost in tens of codes I can't understand where to put...


Will you be so kind to help me?
