Polygon Hotspots with Audio

Polygon Hotspots with Audio

This “little bit's” tutorial show you how to attach multiple audio files, to individual Polygon Hotspots, The audio files play when the mouse is over the hotspot and stop when the mouse leaves the hotspot. Each hotspot will include a thumbnail text description, styled using Google Fonts and an initial screen prompting the viewer to ‘Click to Start’ allowing us to trigger the sound in the browser.

Update 15 November: I have included a sample blank.mp3 file in a new Tutorial Folder and added instructions below to include it in the project. This file will be used with Safari (on the desktop). Please download the tutorial folder again.

Using Tags with Multiple Nodes

Using Tags with Multiple Nodes

This “little bit's” tutorial show you how to assign tags to individual nodes and use them to show information pertinent to that node. In the tutorial we are going to define each node as Lounge, Dining and Bedroom. In the skin will be a drop down information box that has a title matching one of the three locations and some placeholder text. As the user moves between nodes the title and text will change to reflect the location.
