Attaching actions to a rollover

Adding Interactivity > Creating mouse rollovers > Attaching actions to a rollover

The Actions palette lets you attach scripted actions to the button image--for example, an action that changes the background color of the page.

Note: Make sure that all button images on a page have a unique name (button1, button2, etc.). Names that contain only numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or that start with a number won't work in all browsers. Also, names may not contain spaces or special characters.

To attach an action triggered by a mouse or key event:

1 In the Actions palette, choose a mouse or key event from the list box to the left:

Select Mouse Click to have a single mouse click trigger the action.

Select Mouse Enter to have the action triggered when the mouse pointer moves over the button.

Select Mouse Exit to have the action triggered when the mouse pointer moves off the button.

2 Click the + button to add an action to the Actions list box.

3 Choose an action from the Action menu and edit the action options. For information on the actions that Adobe GoLive supports, see Using Adobe GoLive actions.

4 Launch a 4.0 or later browser to preview the action. (The 3.0 browsers support some actions. Browser compatibility information appears next to the name of each action; however, results may vary and you should always preview your actions in your browsers of choice.)
