ShowHide


    The Show/Hide action lets you show or hide the content of a layer in the page. For example, you can use this action to create drop-down menus that appear when the viewer clicks on a menu item and hide when the pointer rolls off the item. Alternatively, you can show or hide objects dynamically by inserting two keyframes in the DHTML Timeline Editor and adding Show Hide actions to the time track of the layer.

    Make sure that your page has a layer with content within it or visible properties before you create the action. If you want a layer to not appear on the page until it is targeted to show by a ShowHide action, deselect Visible in the Layer Inspector. Trigger the ShowHide action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose Action > Multimedia > ShowHide. In the Layer menu, choose a layer. In the Mode menu, choose what should happen to the layer:

    • Hide hides the layer until a Show action that targets it is triggered.
    • Show displays the layer until a Hide action that targets it is triggered.
    • Toggle shows or hides the layer, depending on its current visibility status.
