Set Image URL

The Set Image URL action lets you create remote rollovers, also known as secondary or disjointed rollovers, which swap the content of a placeholder image when the viewer interacts with other content on the page. You can also set up multiple timeline-based Set Image URL actions to create a slide show.

In the page, select the image placeholder you want to replace, and in the More tab of the Image Inspector, enter a unique alphanumeric name in the Name text box.

Normally, all images will display with the dimensions of the placeholder image. To enable the images to display with different dimensions, change the placeholder image's Width and Height values from Pixel to Image in the Image Inspector.

Trigger the action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose Action > Image > Set Image URL. Choose the image you want to replace from the Image pop-up menu and reference the image that will replace the base image.

To restore the base image to its original image, trigger a second mouse event (such as Mouse Exit), key event, or timeline event, and set up a Set Image URL action that specifies the same placeholder image and references the original base image.
