For example, position the mouse over the rollover slice or image map area to preview the Over state. Then click the slice or image map area to preview the Click state. Note: If a document contains a Selected state, synthetic states are generated for the other states in the Rollovers palette. The synthetic state represents the appearance of the document when the Selected state is active. Synthetic states are generated automatically and cannot be edited. To exit rollover preview mode: Do one of the following: • Select any tool in the toolbox. • Click the Cancel button in the options bar. Adding animation to rollover states You can add a multiple-frame animation to a state in an image. Adding an animation to the Normal state will cause the animation to play when the image is loaded in a Web browser. Adding an animation to another type of state will cause the animation to play when a user activates the state. To add animation frames to a rollover state: 1 In the Rollovers palette, select the state in which you want to display an animation. If necessary, expand the slice or image map to view its states. (See "Using the Rollovers palette" on page 398.) 2 Do one of the following to add frames to the animation: • Click the Create Animation Frame button in the Rollovers palette or choose New Animation Frame from the palette menu. Note: If the Create Animation Frame button and the New Animation Frame command are not visible, select Include Animation Frames in the Palette Options dialog box. (See "Using the Rollovers palette" on page 398.) • Create frames in the Animation palette. (See "Creating and editing animations" on page 404.) Applying and creating rollover styles Rollover styles (indicated by a triangle in the upper left corner of the style thumbnail) simplify rollover creation by allowing you to turn a layer into a rollover effect with a single click. A rollover style includes all the attributes of a rollover, including its states and layer effects. When you apply a rollover style to a layer, the layer becomes a layer-based slice. To apply a rollover style to a layer: 1 Select a layer in the Layers palette. 2 Choose Window > Styles, or click the Styles palette tab, to display the Styles palette. 3 Click the thumbnail for the rollover style you want to apply. Rollover style thumbnails have a triangle in the upper left corner. Using Help | Contents | Index Back 402
