Using The Behaviors Panel To Add Interactivity To Slices - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 8-USING FIREWORKS Use Manual

Using the Behaviors panel to add interactivity to
slices
In addition to rollovers, you can attach other types of interactivity to slices using the
Behaviors panel. You can create custom interactions by editing existing behaviors.
Although you can create simple, disjoint, and complex rollovers with the Behaviors
panel, the drag-and-drop rollover method is recommended. For more information, see
"Adding simple interactivity to slices" on page
The following behaviors are available in Fireworks:
Simple Rollover
adds a rollover behavior to the selected slice using Frame 1 as the Up state
and Frame 2 as the Over state. After you select this behavior, you need to create an image in
the second frame, under the same slice, to create the Over state. The Simple Rollover option is
actually a behavior group containing the Swap Image and Swap Image Restore behaviors.
Swap Image
replaces the image under the specified slice with the contents of another frame
or the contents of an external file.
Swap Image Restore
Set Nav Bar Image
part of the navigation bar must have this behavior. The Set Nav Bar Image option is actually a
behavior group containing the Nav Bar Over, Nav Bar Down, and Nav Bar Restore behaviors.
This behavior is automatically set for you by default when you use the Button Editor to create
a button that includes an Include Over While Down state or Show Down Image Upon Load
state. When you create a two-state button, a simple rollover behavior is assigned to its slice.
When you create a three- or four-state button, a Set Nav Bar Image behavior is assigned to its
slice. For more information on buttons, see
Nav Bar Over specifies the Over state for the currently selected slice when it is part of a
navigation bar and optionally specifies the Preload images state and Include Over While
Down state.
Nav Bar Down specifies a Down state for the currently selected slice when it is part of a
navigation bar and optionally specifies a Preload images state.
Nav Bar Restore restores all the other slices in the navigation bar to their Up state.
Set Pop-up Menu attaches a pop-up menu to a slice or hotspot. When you apply a pop-up
menu behavior, you can use the Pop-up Menu Editor. For more information, see
