Making slices interactive

The basic building blocks for creating interactivity in Fireworks are slice objects. Fireworks
offers two ways to make slices interactive:
The drag-and-drop rollover method is the easiest way to make a slice interactive. By
merely dragging a slice's behavior handle and dropping it onto a target slice, you can
quickly create simple interactivity.
The Behaviors panel allows you to create more complex interactivity. The Behaviors panel
contains a variety of interactive behaviors you can attach to slices. By attaching multiple
behaviors to a single slice, you can create interesting effects. You can also select from a
variety of mouse events that trigger interactive behaviors.
Behaviors in Fireworks are compatible with Macromedia Dreamweaver behaviors. When you
export a Fireworks rollover to Dreamweaver, you can edit Fireworks behaviors using the
Dreamweaver Behaviors panel.

Adding simple interactivity to slices

The drag-and-drop rollover method is a fast and efficient way to create rollover and
swap-image effects.
Specifically, the drag-and-drop rollover method allows you to determine what happens to a
slice when the pointer passes over it. The end result is commonly referred to as a rollover
image. Rollover images are graphics that change appearance in a web browser when you move
the pointer over them.
