Hello folks I have just downloaded the trial version of Stitcher Unlimited with a view to buy the real thing if I can impress my boss but I'm having trouble using hotspots.  Could anyone tell me where I'm going wrong, I want to link the hotspot to an image on my desk top so in the properties I've selected "local" and then put the path in the next field "C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\Desktop\image"
 
It doesn't work but comes up with this message:  
 
cannot find 'file:///C;/Documents%20Settings/Paul/Desktop/image
 
I can successfully link hotspots to web pages but not other files on my computer, I'm sure this is a school boy error but I just can't figure it out!
 
Thanks in advance for any assistance
 
Paul

Hello Paul,
 
are you on PC or Mac?
If the file you want to point to is in the same directory then just enter the file name with its file-type extension (ex: image.jpg. Works fine for me on PC)
Otherwise, the naming of your directory might be an issue...
Best regards
Tim

Thanks for your help Tim
 
I'm on a PC, I've done a little more research and I think the problem might be that I don't want to use URL. I'm looking to create a panorama with a couple of hotspots linking to images and then put the package on a CD so I wouldn't be needing to use the internet at all but could give the whole package on a cd to clients, if that makes sense.  It seems the only options in the properties drop down is URLs (http or local)
 
You may have guessed I'm a complete beginer!  I still can't work out how to link it!
 
Many thanks
 
Paul

All sorted now, thanks

Hi Paul, I am having the same issue as how to put connected hotspots onto a CD for clients. You say 'All sorted now' how did you accomplish this.

Looking for a hot spot solution that would not require the use of Director programming.
Is there a way to use connected hot spots within Cubic VR, use QuickTime, package on a CD?
 
Am experimenting with using PDF as the interface & playing an external QuickTime VR file.  Clicking on the "Poster" link (static movie image) finds the QTVR and plays inside the Poster.
