Specifying a filename, alternate text, and a target for a sliced image in AutoLayout format

If you are exporting in AutoLayout format, you can specify a filename and alternate text for each image in the composition. If you don't specify a filename, LiveMotion creates the name. Alternate text is used in a Web browser when an image is not found or when the image is downloading slowly. It is also used on Web browsers that don't support images or are configured to not download images.

You can also specify a target window or frame for a URL link. For example, if you create a button that opens a Web page, you can specify whether you want the page to open in a new browser window. Or, you can specify that the page opens in a specific frame if you are using the button in a frameset.

For information on AutoLayout format and sliced images, see About export formats. For more information on using these fields, consult an HTML reference guide.

To specify a filename, alternate text, or target:

1. Select any object that will become part of an exported image.
2. Choose Window > Web.
3. Choose Detail View from the pop-up menu in the Web palette to expand the palette.
4. Type the name in the File Name text box to specify a filename for the exported image.
5. Type the text in the ALT text box to specify alternate text for the exported image.
6. To target an exported button's linked page to a new window or a specific frame in a frameset, make sure that you have entered a URL for the image, and then enter one of the following in the Window text box (make sure you include the underscore):
• _blank to load the linked page into a new browser window.
• _parent to load the linked page into the containing frame of the frameset.
• _self to load the linked page into the frame that contains the button. This is the default if no target is specified.
• _top to load the linked page into the top frame.
• The name of a specific frame in the frameset (do not include an underscore at the beginning). For more information on creating framesets, consult an HTML guide.
