Assigning rollover images automatically


    The Detect Rollover Images feature automatically assigns images to rollover states. After you specify the filename of the Normal image, GoLive automatically searches for Over, Down, Click, Up, and Out files that use a similar naming convention. For example, if you specify a Normal image named myimage_Base.gif, GoLive looks for myimage_Over.gif. You can edit the rollover naming conventions that GoLive uses. (See Viewing and editing rollover naming conventions.)

    To use the Detect Rollover Images feature, you must place images for all rollover states (Normal, Over, Down, etc.) in the same folder. If images for some states are not yet complete, you can manually start the rollover detection process after adding the needed images to the folder.

    The Detect Rollover Images feature is on by default, but you can turn it off if you prefer to assign rollover images manually.

To automatically display the Rollovers & Actions palette when GoLive detects rollovers:

  1. In the Rollovers & Actions palette, click the Rollovers tab, and then choose Rollover Detection Settings from the palette menu.
  2. Select Automatically Open Rollover Palette.

To turn off the Detect Rollover Images feature:

  1. In the Rollovers & Actions palette, click the Rollovers tab, and then choose Rollover Detection Settings from the palette menu.
  2. Deselect Automatically Detect Rollover Images.

To manually start the Detect Rollover Images feature:

  1. Select a rollover object in the Layout Editor.
  2. In the Rollovers & Actions palette, click the Rollovers tab, and then select Detect Rollover Images from the palette menu.
