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.
