Adding Rollover Images - Adobe 65029940 - Captivate - PC Using Manual

Adding rollover images

Rollover images are unique. They consist of an image and a rollover area (the "hot" area). Rollover
images appear when the end user moves the mouse over the hot area at runtime. They are useful
for heavily detailed slides or for slides that contain buttons or toolbars that require explanation.
You can use the same type of graphics for rollover images that you use for traditional images. You
can also customize the location, outline, and size of the rollover area for rollover images.
To add a rollover image:
Open a Captivate movie.
1.
In Storyboard view, double-click the slide to which you want to add a rollover image.
2.
From the Insert menu, select Rollover Image.
3.
The Open dialog box appears.
Select an image from the list or browse to a new location for a different image. Click Open.

The New rollover image dialog box appears.

Rollover Image tab
Transparency: This option defines the transparent quality of the rollover image. Select a value
between 0-100% with a low number resulting in a bright version of the rollover image and a
higher number displaying a dimmer rollover image.
Transparent background: This option lets you define non-rectangular rollover images by
making their background color transparent.
Preview: Displays the rollover image. If you make changes, such as editing the transparency
number, the preview will reflect the changes.
Reset to original size: Select this option to revert back to the original size of the rollover image.
Change image: Select this option to display the Open dialog box and navigate to a different
image. Select a new image, click OK, and the new image is added to your slide. This feature
can be useful if you are testing different formats of the same image (for example, GIF, JPEG, or
BMP) to see which one looks best on the slide.
Apply properties to all rollover images in the movie: Select this option to apply the changes you
made on this tab to all rollover images in the movie.
Options tab
Effect: Use the drop-down box to select a transition effect for the rollover image (for example,
Fade in only or No transition).
In [#] seconds: Specifies the amount of time for the rollover image to fully fade into view.
Out [#] seconds: Specifies the amount of time for the rollover image to completely disappear
from view.
Apply effect to all rollover images in the movie: Select this option to apply the changes you
made on this tab to all rollover images in the movie.
