Using the "link" option with HotSpots in FlAniS
updated December, 2009
When you want to use the "link" option for HotSpots in FlAniS, it is necessary to provide
some HTML and JavaScript. The "link" will provide a "call-back" to the
environment by calling:
flanis_link(URL)
where the "URL" is the URL of the file that contains the image that is being displayed
when the user clicks the hotspot.
Your HTML and JavaScript must look something like this:
<![CDATA[
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//---------------------------------------------
function flanis_link(pageURL) {
var windowName = 'newWindow';
var windowConfig = 'width=750,height=450,location=yes,menubar=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no';
window.open(pageURL, windowName, windowConfig);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
width="800" height="800" id="flanis">
<param name="movie" value="flanis.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="FlashVars" value="configFilename=test.cfg">
<embed src="flanis.swf" name="flanis" swliveconnect="false" quality="high" menu="false"
width="800" height="800" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" scale="noscale"
flashvars="configFilename=test.cfg"> </embed>
</object>
</body>
</html>
]]>
And just to be complete: in this example the "configuration file" (test.cfg) looks like this:
<![CDATA[
# config file for testing the "show" control button
controls=startstop, looprock, speed, step, zoom, refresh
bottom_controls=toggle
bottom_controls_tooltip=Click on frame square to remove from animation; click again to add
it back
image_preserve=0,589,800,600
auto_refresh=10
filenames=image0.jpg, image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg, image4.jpg, image5.jpg, image6.jpg, image7.jpg
hotspot = 100, 100, 50, 50, pan, link, http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/index.html
pause_percent=250
backcolor=0xFFFFFF
