Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello, is there a property such as "On Mouse over"? I want to get the following:

I have an audio file in my Media (song1) and I want to play such file when the user move the mouse over an image (image1).
If I have 2 audio files (song1, song2) and I have another image (image2), I want both audio files (song1, song 2) to play at the same time the user move the mouse over the image (image2).

Thanks

Omar

I don't think there is an "OnHover" action. There are many ways to do this with clicking though--is that something you'd be interested in?

And this is a stretch, but if you want to try augmented reality such that when the user moves their device's camera over a designated spot, the song(s) will play, I made this tutorial a while ago:

Thanks Mr Dang,

ON CLICKING SOLUTION
if there is not such On Mouse Over then click in would be the option, if you could provide some hints, it would be great.

ON YOUR CAN EXAMPLE
I saw what you did with the cat ant it is great...

What I am doing is a color wheel (https://goo.gl/fr9JEd) so green, red and blue are 3 diferent songs, if click on any of those colors, then the corresponding song plays. These 3 colors mix in between and then play those both songs altogether.

IDEA 1: I was thinking that for my case, if I could detect where the user is looking at the screen and then play the song, some devices can detect if you are looking at the screen to keep it on.

IDEA 2: what about if I use gyroscope of the device and try to emulate a bubble level (https://goo.gl/BcAYuT)

sorry if above ideas are to crazy but your example inspired me.
Thanks
Omar

I think what you may be making could be made better in Unity than PowerApps. The HoloLens has a gaze control and better compass and gyroscope sensors and you can program that right on Unity.

That said, it's not impossible to do what you're thinking on PowerApps. The problem is that clickspaces in PowerApps are rectangular/square so you can't pinpoint the exact spot of the color wheel you want.
This is what I'm thinking:
Place the RGB wheel in an image box in the back
Create a Gallery with 100 items that has a WrapCount of 10. This results in a 10x10 grid of squares.
Imagine the 10x10 grid as 100 click spaces--each square is associated as either Red, Green, Blue, two colors or 3 colors. but because the wheel is a circle and the grid is not, some squares in the grid will do nothing.
Upon clicking a square in the grid, the appropriate song and number of songs will play as it references Gallery.Selected.
Increase the grid size and wrapcount for more precision of colors.
I am not sure if custom-shaped click spaces are available. For me, PNG files with transparency still take on the clickspace of the containing image box. But perhaps this is something you can suggest in the Ideas forum.
