Thumbnail Skin

[zap]

I folks


I wanted to make a thumbnail skin showing up on clicking an open element.
Afterwards I wanted to change the visible "GoTo" Thumbnails on clicking the forward or backward arrow.

Apparently I can't seem to get it working without closing the whole window.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Zap

First off, miss use of %.
The % is to address elements of the same name.

If you had 5 Point Hotspots all using one hotspot template with an ID of “hotspot”, to hide the hotspots you would use the action Hide “hotspot” but this on its own would only hide 1 of the 5 even thought it’s the same hotspot template for all 5.

So to address them all at the same time you would use the % like this, Hide “%hotspot. So you did not need them in.

The other thing was your tree structure.
Everything was hanging off the ThumbsCloas tab, so what ever action it had all child elements would also have.

I changed all the actions to show and Hide rather than toggle.
Toggle is more use for a button, but when you have elements that disappear, then show and hide is much better.

The other thing I changed was the ThumbsClose tab, I removed all actions and placed it under the ThumbsOpen tab which has all the actions in, including a change alpha so the ThumbsClose tab can be seen under it.

I have also played with the text/info box, using the Set Text action you only need the one box. This cuts down file size, as you don’t need some many elements, ok not much here but with lots of tool tips it is most defiantly an action you should be using.

All the best Hopki

Hi Hopki

Many thankss for your valuable input and adaptation. Didn't know the set text command. Impressive.

I have a new workaround challenge.
I use to have a button "toggle visibility" of hotspots.
I now created a hotspot with external image but couldn't get this hotspot to hide with the others.
The show/hide button adresses each hotspot skin separately.
What may I change to get all hotspots hide or show. Perhaps you know even a sleaker way of programming the skin or any other member of the forum may want to share.

Many thanks in advance

Cheers

Hi

silly me: I figured out that I got 2 instances of toggle element visibility in it neutralizing each other.

It now works like a charm.
Thanks to all those already downloaded the file for checkup.
