Creating rollovers

Rollovers are interactive objects that change in appearance when you click or point to them. You can create rollovers using objects.

To create a rollover, you add the following rollover states:

•
 
Normal — the default state of a button when no mouse activity is associated with the button
•
 
Over — the state of a button when the pointer passes over it
•
 
Down — the state of a clicked button

You can apply different object properties to each of the rollover states. You can also preview the rollover states.

To add the rollover object to a web design, you must first save it to Macromedia Flash (SWF) format. For more information about creating and editing objects such as rollovers, see Working with objects.
