    Scrolling to image map regions in a nested dynamic panel

    Hi,

    I have an interaction behavior that I am trying to create in Axure and I'm guessing there is no way to currently do this with image map regions.  I have 3 images on one page.  Each image needs to open the same dynamic panel, but scroll to a different location of content based on which image has been clicked.  I've tried using scroll to image map region action to do this and it does not work.  I've tried two methods thus far:

    1. Show a dynamic panel with an inline frame > the inline frame page contains the image map regions.  This can't work because Axure can't see the image map regions from one page to another.  And I also tried setting a variable with a different value for each image click, using the onLoad event on the page inside the dynamic panel to scroll to image map region based on the variable value.  Nothing happens (maybe because the page is loaded inside an inline frame? not sure..)

    2.  Show a dynamic panel with a nested dynamic panel that is set to scroll as needed.   The nested panel contains the image map regions.  Axure can see the regions and I can build the cases as I'd like to see it work, however when I generate the file, the action simply does not work.  No scrolling.

    If I can't find a simple answer to why #2 is not working, I am going to try manually setting a move panel to(y) action, however I'd like to avoid that since it would require 3 nested panels and seems to be the least efficient way to solve the problem.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks, Tisha

    Hi, Tisha.

    I'm uploading a solution based on your option 1. The trick is to set the variable, then load a redirect page in the frame that in turn loads the page you want. There you get the benefit of the OnPageLoad event.

    Ah that works perfectly!!  Funny, I have never noticed the open link in frame action before you mentioned it.  Thanks a bunch for the help =)
