JC Panorama Hotspots
The hotspots are locations on the images that make up a panorama. Those locations could represent points of interest for the viewer watching the panorama and allow user interaction. A hotspot can only be added from the XML data of the panorama (an external .xml file or an XML object created by code).A hotspot has the following attributes:
- id:String - the id of the hotspot.
- action:String - specifies the type of mouse event to which the hotspot will execute its actions. Possible values are press, release, over and doubleClick.
- pan:Number - the horizontal angle of the panorama.
- tilt:Number - the vertical angle of the panorama.
- customIcon:String - the location where the icon should be loaded from. It could be the url of an external image or .swf file (if it has a file extension) or the class name of a movie clip from the Library. If the target file/movie clip does not exist or the path is incorrect, there will be no icon loaded into the panorama and further more, there could be an error message displayed.
- fixed:Boolean - specifies if the hotspot will get distorted together with the panorama.
- refresh:Boolean - specifies if the hotspot clip will be refreshed (useful when it is an animated clip)
- type:String - the type of hotspot. Possible values are info, link and panorama.
- panoURL:String - the url of another panorama which will be loaded if the action (mouse action) takes place on the hotspot.
- linkURL:String - the url that will be opened if the action (mouse action) takes place on the hotspot.
- target:String - the target browser window into which the link will be opened.
- useHandCursor:Boolean (default = false) - specifies whether the hand cursor will be displayed when the mouse cursor is over the hotspot icon.
A hotspot XML node has another child node representing the description text associated to that hotspot. The description is displayed as tooltip when the mouse rolls over the hotspot icon.
Example:
<hotspot action="press" id="1" source="" pan="90.54545454545455" tilt="25.71428571428571" fixed="true" type="info" target="2">

- all the virtual tours settings are made only in the XML data
