Creating rollovers that are "smart"

With two or three images, you can create image rollover buttons in GoLive based on mouse events and predefined JavaScript. Rollovers are images that change in appearance when you roll the mouse pointer over them or hold the mouse button down on them. You can attach navigational links to rollovers so that clicking them takes you to another destination.

By using special rollover names for each image file and specifying the first image in the Image Inspector, GoLive automatically links all of the image files up to the corresponding mouse events.

You can use the Rollover object or the Image object with your images to create rollovers. GoLive automatically maintains navigational links related to the rollovers. You can export the JavaScript code used for rollovers to a separate library file that can be cached in the browser. When you use the Image object rather than the Rollover object to create a rollover, you get a leaner rollover with less source code. This is useful when you want to create simple rollover buttons with only a few or no actions attached to them. (See Creating mouse rollovers.)
