Re: dynamic loading of hotspot URL's

 Hi there,
 Does anyone know how to create dynamic hotspots that can be controlled
 from an external text or xml file? We have done some VR's for the
 Auckland Museum for a kiosk and would like to control where the hotspots
 go to without having to edit the VR's directly.


 Note: links to databases will not work where the VR's are currently
 sitting.


Did ya'll do that in LiveStage? If so, why not have LiveStage look to a text file listing each pano and hot spot along with the corresponding pano, FOV, tilt & pan angle to jump to depending on which hot spot was clicked. Load this delimited text file into arrays when the movie is first loaded and then your movie always knows what to do.


The thing with LSP (QuickTime for that matter) is that the event handler script must be hard coded.

You can use QTLists (XML) to send the URLs to the QTVR movie. You can then have a custom event handlers that depending on the hotspot that was clicked, retrieves the correct URL from the QTList. For this to work your QTList and hotspots must be somewhat married, so each hotspot retrieves the correct value from the QTList that was sent.

And yes, all this is done in LSP.
