The Rollover palette with three rollover states. The dark border around the middle thumbnail indicates that the Over state is selected. When you save an image with rollover states as a Web page, each rollover state is saved as a separate image file. By default, rollover states are named using the corresponding slice name plus the mouse action that triggers the rollover state. When you change the name of a slice, rollover states in the slice are renamed. Working with layers in rollovers How you work with layers is an essential part of creating rollovers. Placing the image content for a rollover on its own layer allows you to use Layers palette commands and options to create rollover effects. When creating rollovers or animations, some changes you make to a layer affect only the active state or frame, while others affect all states or frames. (See "Using layers to edit frames" on page 306.) When creating a slice for a rollover, use a layerbased slice. This is recommended because the dimensions of a layer's content may change in the course of creating a rollover, and layer-based slices automatically adjust to encompass the new pixels. However, do not use a layer-based slice when you plan to move the layer over a large area during an animation, because the slice dimension may exceed a useful size. (See "Creating layer-based slices" on page 273.) You can use layer styles to create instant rollover effects. When working with layer-based slices, you can also save the series of states as a rollover style. (See "Applying and creating rollover styles" on page 296.) Using the Rollover palette You use the Rollover palette to create and set options for rollover states. The Rollover palette displays thumbnails for each state of a rollover. The first state in the Rollover palette is always the Normal state. To change the thumbnail view of rollover states: 1 Choose Palette Options from the Rollover palette menu. 2 Select a thumbnail size. 3 Under Thumbnails Show, define the content of the thumbnail: • Current Slice to show only the current slice in the thumbnail. • Entire Document to show the entire image in the thumbnail. This view is useful when creating a secondary rollover effect. 4 Click OK.
