Creating a three- or four-state button
When creating a button, you may want to add a Down state and an Over While Down state in
addition to the Up and Over states. These states give web page users additional visual cues.
You can create a nav bar using two-state or three-state buttons, but only a button with all four
states qualifies as a real nav bar button in Fireworks. Fireworks has several Nav Bar behaviors that
make buttons act as though they are related to each other. For example, you can create nav bar
buttons that act like the push buttons on an old car radio: when the user clicks a button, it
remains down until another button is clicked.
Although four-state buttons are not mandatory in a nav bar, using them allows you to take
advantage of the built-in Nav Bar behaviors in Fireworks.
