Mouse Exit/Over Panels

In the MouseOver and MouseExit panels, you can set the images to display when
1)the mouse is over the button
2)the mouse is not over the button

These image will then transit smoothly from one image to the another in play mode.


Bitmap

The bitmap is the most important property in the MouseExit/Over Panel. It is here that you specify the image to use when the mouse is over the button or when the mouse exit the button.
Currently, Atomix Buttons accept only
Jpeg files.


There are 3 ways to specify a bitmap:

1) Launch a file chooser dialog box to load an existing jpeg file. To do this, click the small "…" button beside the bitmap textfield.

2) Type in the path name of the jpeg file. Example d:\Atomix\image.jpg. When you have finished, you have to type enter.

3) Create an image using the
Button Image Generator . To do this, click the "Create Image" Button. The Button Image Generator is a separate program that integrates nicely with Atomix Buttons. It comes with over 50 pre-created styles for you to use and customize.


Note:
An important restriction for a successful transition is that the MouseOver and MouseExit image must be of the same size.


Sound
Specifying sound is similar to specifying images.
You can either launch a file chooser or type in the path name of the sound file. Currently, only .au sound files are accepted.

Note : The sound cannot be tested in play mode. To test for sound, you have to build an applet and test it in your web browser.


Text Properties
If the Button Type is set to image and text, you can set the following properties:

Text : specify the button text

Align :
specify the alignment of the button text. It can have the following alignment
Center, Left, Right and Specify
For Specify, you have to indicate the offset of the text from the top-left corner of the button

X : The number of horizontal pixels to offset from the top-left corner of button for text display.
Y : The number of vertical pixels to offset from the top-left corner of button for text display.
