Changing default hotspot skin by an animated PNG

I created a copy of the style skin_hotspotstyle -> skin_hotspotstyle2 and changed the url to an animated (3 frames) PNG image.

A hotspot with this style only displays the first frame of the image.

How can I get it displayed as animated?

Thanks Tuur for your answer.

That's an alternative to what I've asked.
I already had tried that with my own PNGs.

I started with a 3 scenes virtual tours and added a hotspot to the first scene the same as one of those examples

	<hotspot name="spot4" url="circle.png"                onloaded="do_crop_animation(102,102, 60)"  ath="0" atv="0" enabled="false" />

Also added the action "do_crop_animation".
I tried with some of my own circle.png simple yellow circles with transparent background and also animated ones with 3 frames.
Once tour.xml loads circle.png only displays for a fraction of second.
cursor:default -> cursor:pointer over the area where circle.png should be displayed.

I don't know how krpano circle.png was created. I guess it is a simple circle but https://krpano.com/viewsource.htm…pots/circle.png ...

Thank you.

Ok, now I see the actual PNGs. But how about using my own animated PNG without crop animation action?

Thank you.

This is one of my hotspots

<hotspot name="room2" style="skin_hotspotstyle2" ath="142.312" atv="36.293" distorted="false" zoom="false" linkedscene="room2" onclick="loadscene(get(linkedscene),null,MERGE,ZOOMBLEND(1))"  />

where

<style name="skin_hotspotstyle2" url="circle6A.png"scale="0.6" edge="top" oy="0" distorted="false" tooltip="" onloaded="add_all_the_time_tooltip(); " />

add_all_the_time_tooltip is an action to display the name of the linked scene above the hotspot.

<action name="add_all_the_time_tooltip">
   txtadd(tooltipname, 'tooltip_', get(name));
   addplugin(get(tooltipname));
   txtadd(plugin[get(tooltipname)].parent, 'hotspot[', get(name), ']');
   set(plugin[get(tooltipname)].url,'%SWFPATH%/plugins/textfield.swf');
   set(plugin[get(tooltipname)].align,top);
   ...
   ...
   set(plugin[get(tooltipname)].textshadowangle,90);
   copy(plugin[get(tooltipname)].html,scene[get(linkedscene)].title);
   set(plugin[get(tooltipname)].enabled,false);
</action>

With this structure I get the animated PNG work as expected with. with the name of the linked scene.
But if I don't want the linked scene name displayed and delete onloaded="add_all_the_time_tooltip(); " from the style then animation brokes and a still image is displayed (first frame of png)

Quote from HarrisReid

It sounds like your hotspot is only showing the first frame because it doesn't support animation.

"With this structure I get the animated PNG works as expected with the name of the linked scene."

Okay, thank you, I get that.

Anyway I solved what I was asking.

From post #6
<hotspot name="room2" style="skin_hotspotstyle2" ath="142.312" atv="36.293" distorted="false" zoom="false" linkedscene="room2" onclick="loadscene(get(linkedscene),null,MERGE,ZOOMBLEND(1))"  />

where the default url style was changed to the animated PNG.
Changes in hotspot:

linkedscene="" onclick="loadscene('room2',null,MERGE,ZOOMBLEND(1))"  />

That way PNG is displayed correctly and tooltip is not displayed
