making photos pop up from a button

  • I spent several hours reading different ways to make a photo pop out when I click on a hotspot and this one seems simple and does all I need.

    Code
    <plugin name="spot4" style="mapspot-photo" x="396" y="98" onclick="closemap(); wait(0.5); tween(plugin[bedroom].alpha,1);tween(plugin[bedroom].scale,1); "/>
    	<plugin name="bedroom" url="hotspots/bed.jpg" keep="true" handcursor="false" align="center" edge="center" alpha="0" scale="0"  onclick="tween(plugin[bedroom].alpha,0);tween(plugin[bedroom].scale,0);"/>

    It simply tweens from alpha and scale = 0 to 1.

    That's all works ok but then I wanted to improve the startup action so that it moves to a viewpoint on loading the initial tour, as follows:

    Code
    <action name="startup">
    		<!-- load the first scene  -->
    		loadscene(get(scene[0].name), null, MERGE);
    		set(view.architectural,1.0);
    		lookat(-5, 14); 
    		wait(BLEND); 
    		lookto(-76,3,100,smooth(100,100,30));
    
    
    	</action>

    When I add these lookat and lookto instructions the photos no longer pop out.

    Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?


    The tour and xml are here:

    http://www.opticalfx.co.uk/ipadtest/tour.xml
    http://www.opticalfx.co.uk/ipadtest/buttons.xml

    The hotspots are the 3 camera icons on the floorplan. They currently work until you add the code above to startup.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Adrian

  • Don't worry, I seem to have fixed it myself *smile*

    I came across another tour that did what I wanted and I spotted that they put the instructions in the onstart call:

    onstart="startup();
    set(view.architectural,1.0);
    lookat(-5, 14);
    wait(BLEND);
    lookto(-76,3,100,smooth(100,100,30));">

    That seems to work fine.

  • Hallo Adrian
    Can you post the example with the photo popping- up and the xml file. Sounds interesting. Ik spend a week to find a way to pop-up a text. Still cannot find it.
    Thanks for posting so far.


    Oh I see the photo's popup already in the first file, thanks
