the addhotspot action - Please Help

I am currently working on a HUGE tour and any automation would help greatly.

I have made an action that creates a hot spot so I can use it to make me several hot spots at once. the only variables I have here are ath and atv, I will be putting more in (onclick and whatnot) I made it simple for this post.

<action name="createhotspot">
addhotspot(%1);
set(hotspot[%1].ath,%1);
set(hotspot[%1].atv,%2);
set(hotspot[%1].url,button.swf);
</action>

The problem is that whenever I make a call with several hotspots it only makes the first one!

<action name="onstart">
action(createhotspot,0,0);
action(createhotspot,90,0);
action(createhotspot,-180,0);
</action>

I'd really like some help with this, I have no idea what to try and I am on a deadline

Thank you

Hi,

an unique name for each hotspot must be set,
e.g. use the % placeholders as follow:
%1 = name
%2 = ath
%3 = atv

Source code

<action name="createhotspot">
  addhotspot(%1);
  set(hotspot[%1].ath,%2);
  set(hotspot[%1].atv,%3);
  set(hotspot[%1].url,button.swf);
</action>


and

Source code

<action name="onstart">
  action(createhotspot,spot1,0,0);
  action(createhotspot,spot2,90,0);
  action(createhotspot,spot3,-180,0);
</action>


note - since version 1.0.8 beta 8 an action can now also be called "direct" without "action()",
e.g.

Source code

<action name="onstart">
  createhotspot(spot1,0,0);
  createhotspot(spot2,90,0);
  createhotspot(spot3,-180,0);
</action>


best regards,
Klaus

I have to second that. SWEET! The only problem I have with this great product is just when I get my template set the way I want it, Klaus adds new features or explains the current ones in a simpler way so my brain can deal with it. I can't stop myself from always adjusting my template. One day Klaus will have to run out of creative ideas but I guess that is what this forum is for: combining our wishes with his amazing programming skills.

Thanks,

jarredja
