Applying and creating rollover styles
Rollover styles simplify rollover creation by
allowing you to turn a layer into a rollover effect
with a single click. A rollover style includes all the
attributes of a rollover, including its states and
layer effects. When you apply a rollover style to a
layer, the layer becomes a layer-based slice.
To apply a rollover style to a layer:
Select a layer in the Layers palette.
1
Choose Window > Show Styles, or click the
2
Styles palette tab, to display the Styles palette.
Click the thumbnail for the rollover style you
3
want to apply. Rollover style thumbnails have a
triangle in the upper left corner.
To create a rollover style:
Create or select a layer-based slice.
1
(See "Creating layer-based slices" on page 273.)
Note: You must use a layer-based slice in order to
create a rollover style.
In the Rollover palette, create the desired
2
rollover states. Apply the effects to each state using
predefined styles in the Styles palette or by
manually setting layer effects in the Layers palette.
In the Styles palette, click the New Style
3
button ( ), or choose New Style from the
palette menu.
Enter a name for the style, set style options,
4
and click OK. The Include Rollover States option
must be selected in order to create a rollover style.
The new rollover style appears in the Styles palette.
The thumbnail preview displays the effects in the
Normal state.
Matching layers across rollover states
When you use Layers palette commands to create
effects for a rollover state, the changes apply only
to the active state. However, you can use the
Rollover palette to apply layer changes to all states
in a rollover or all rollover states associated with an
image. For more information about working with
layers when creating rollovers, see "Using layers to
edit frames" on page 306.
To match layer changes across rollover states:
In the Layers palette, select the layer containing
1
the element you want to match across states.
In the Rollover palette, choose an option from
2
the palette menu:
Match Layer Across States to apply layer
•
attributes for the selected state to all states in the
current rollover.
Match Layer Across All Rollovers to apply layer
•
attributes for the selected state to all states in all
rollovers associated with the current image.
Copying and pasting rollover states
You can copy a rollover state and paste it into
another state in the current rollover or into a state
in another rollover. Layers in the source state
replace layers in the destination state.
