showing text continuously on hotspost

nothing that is all there is to use.

Could you not use a text graphic?

Andrew

after thinking about this more if you absolutly do not want to use onhover or onver you would have to create a second textfield plugin to use as a label or like mediavets stated a png graphic. but it would always take 2 hotspots. 1 for the spot itself and a second for the label.

Maybe something like onloaded="showtext(blabla,stylename)" could work if the style contains the proper code for such thing. Using the example from Klaus.....

<textstyle name="infostyle"
	       	origin="center" edge="center" yoffset="-100" textalign="center" background="false" border="false"
	       	fontsize="40" textcolor="0xFFFFFF" bold="false" effect="glow(0xFFFFFF,0.7,4,2);glow(0x000000,1,4,2);dropshadow(3,45,0x000000,2,0.6);"
	       	showtime="4.0" fadeintime="1.0" fadetime="1.0"
	       	/>

and setting the showtime from 4 seconds to something like 999. The biggest problem will be to align the "showtext" to the hotspot, because I don´t think there is a parent-function for textstyles. Still worse a try, I guess

Hi,

use the textfield plugin and assign it via parent="hotspot[spot]" to your hotspot,

e.g.

<hotspot name="spot1" url="..." children="false" />
<plugin name="spot1text" url="textfield.swf" parent="hotspot[spot1]" align="center" ox="10" oy="50" html="[p]text[/p]" css="p{color:#FFFFFF;font-size:20}" keep="true" background="false" width="100" autosize="center" />

best regards,

There's no such thing as hover on a touch screen. Show a link to your project. I haven't seen any issues with plugins on iPhones.

I have the weirdest problem with the textfield-plugin on the iPad Your code, Klaus, is working great so far. BUT the text only shows up on all hotspots which are in the area of the pano that is visible when the pano starts. To be more exact: All hotspots that are outside the area you can see when the pano is loaded have no text. So if you look at ath 0 when the pano starts, only the hotspots from ath -45 to +45 are showing the texfield-text. All Hotspots outside this fov won´t show the text. If I change the startig fov, all hotspots in that area are working, others not.

I hope you get the problem, it´s really hard for me to describe it better in english.

Here´s the code I use:

<style name="hstext"
		  url="textfield.swf"
		  align="bottomcenter"
		  ox="0"
		  oy="30"
		  css="p{color:#FFFFFF;font-size:40;text-align:center;}"
		  keep="true"
		  background="false"
		  width="100"
		  autosize="center"
		  />


<plugin name="lobby_text" 
	    	style="hstext"
	        parent="hotspot[lobby]"
	        html="[p]Lobby[/p]"
	        />

I did try every type of preload- and keep-setting, without any luck.

Thats kinda like juergEns issue. Do hotspots make themselves invisible when they are not visible?

Per your problem, there is a big difference betweeen flash and js textfields.
On the js versions modifications to the textfield plugin dont work if its not visible.
