Editing layers in rollover states and animation frames
Some changes you make to layers affect only the active rollover state or animation frame,
while others affect every state and frame in which the layers are included:
State and frame-specific changes Affect only the active animation frame or rollover
state. By default, changes you make to layers using Layers palette commands and
options—including layer opacity, blending mode, visibility, position, and style—are state
and frame-specific. However, you can apply layer changes to all states in a rollover and all
frames in an animation using the unify buttons in the Layers palette. (See
matching layers rollovers and animations" on page
Important: Changes you make to layers in the Normal state or Frame 1—including layer
opacity, blending mode, visibility, position, and style—affect all states or frames in which
the layers are identical. For example, take a slice that has a Normal state, an Over state,
and a Down state. If the layers in the Normal and Over states are identical, and you apply
a layer style in the Normal state, the layer style will also be applied in the Over state.
However, the Down state will not be affected.
Inclusive changes Affect every state and frame in which the layers are included. Changes
you make to layer pixel values, using painting and editing tools, color and tone
adjustment commands, filters, type, and other image-editing commands, are inclusive.
Unifying and matching layers rollovers and animations
By default, changes you make to layers using Layers palette commands and options—
including layer visibility, position, and style—apply only to the frame or state (unless you
are working with the Normal state or Frame 1). However, you can use the unify buttons in
the Layers palette and the Match command to apply changes to all states in a rollover and
all frames in an animation:
The unify buttons determine how the changes you make to a layer in the active state or
•
frame apply to the other states in a rollover or frames in an animation. When a unify
button is selected, changes apply to all states and frames; when a button is deselected,
changes apply to only the active state or frame.
The Layer > Match command lets you apply the layer attributes for an existing state or
•
frame to other states in a rollover and frames in an animation.
To unify layers in rollover states and animation frames:
Select one or more unify buttons in the Layers palette:
Unify Layer Position button
•
states in a rollover and all frames in an animation.
Unify Layer Visibility button
•
states in a rollover and all frames in an animation.
Unify Layer Style button
•
rollover and all frames in an animation.
To match an existing layer across rollover states and animation frames:
1 In the Rollovers palette, select the state or frame with the layer attributes you want
to use.
2 Select the layer you want to match in the Layers palette.
3 Choose Layer > Match, or choose Match from the Layers palette menu.
