I'm not sure if this was answered somewhere. I have a similar question.
My tour production is an Estate Inventory system that includes a tour walkthrough, so more-or-less ... I need a "frame" in the tour that is the place holder for the still pictures of items clicked-on (hotspots) in the scene... then have that frame cleared when clicking on the next still picture as we "walk" through the Estate. Of course going to a new Scene (another room or area outside) needs to clear the still pictures too automatically. Oh, another "frame" contains the data sheet for the item in the still picture, so two things pop up when clicking on a hotspot in the scene: the still picture and a data sheet.
I've tried to use Popup Windows and still experimenting. I have scenes where I have hot spots to show pictures of items in the scene. Each hotspot pulls up a new Popup Window with a different picture. All the Popup Windows are in the same lower left side of the screen. I can manually close the popup windows with a command button on each popup, but I want it so any previous popup window is closed when I open a new hotspot popup window. Otherwise, I end up with 10-100 popup windows open from earlier hotspot clicks, all covering each other.
Should/Could this be done in javascript rather than popup windows? Is there any way to create a "frame" in the tour through javascript, then tell each new still picture click to just bring up a new picture in the "frame"?
I hope this does not get too complicated for programming.... or maybe I'm not using the right tools in TW 5. I'm new to TW 5 and still evaluating.
Thanks in advance!
