To import a Photoshop file and automatically create sprites
1 Select the sprite track in the track list in the Timeline Editor.
Display the Sprites tab of the Sprite Track Inspector and do any of the following:
2
To import the background layer from the Photoshop file and create a sprite that displays the background, select
•
Import Background Layer.
To resize the sprite track to the dimensions of the imported images, select Resize Sprite Track. If the Resize Sprite
•
Track option is not selected, GoLive does not resize the sprite track and clips any images that are larger than the
sprite track.
To map layers in the Photoshop file as the main image for each new sprite, enter the appropriate extension in the
•
Main box. For example, if the main button images are on layers named channel1_main, channel2_main, and so on,
enter main as the extension in the Main box. After importing, GoLive assigns the images from the main layers to
the Main behavior box in the Basics tab in the Sprite Sample Inspector for each sprite.
To map layers in the Photoshop file to the Over behavior box in the Basics tab in the Sprite Sample Inspector for
•
each sprite, enter the appropriate extension in the Over behavior box. For example, if the alternate button images
are on layers named channel1_over, channel2_over, and so on, enter_over as the extension in the Over behavior
box.
• To map layers in the Photoshop file to the Click behavior box in the Basics tab in the Sprite Sample Inspector for
each sprite, enter the appropriate extension in the Click box. For example, for channel1_click, channel2_click, and
so on, enter_click as the extension in the Click behavior box.
3 Click Import, and then navigate to the folder containing the Photoshop file. Select the Photoshop file, and then
click Open.
In the Compression Settings dialog box, select an image compressor and a color depth from the pop-up menus,
4
and then click OK.
GoLive adds the layers as individual images in the Images tab of the Sprite Track Inspector, adds a sprite for the
background image (if you chose to import it), and adds a sprite for each combination of main, over, and click layers.
To view or change the properties for each sprite, such as selecting a cursor for an Over image, use the Basic tab in the
Sprite Sample Inspector.
