In frontpage 2002 I am trying to create buttons that when
either clicked on or on mouse hover create an explosion.
When adding the explosion it replaces the original
Icon/Button. Is there a way around this? Thanks.

Do you mean you want the "explosion"
to appear somewhere else??

No, I actually want the explosion to replace the
hyperlinked picture I have as a button to seem like the
item exploded after being hovered over with the mouse or
possibly after clicking it.

OK,
You need to use the dhtml mouseover effects,
and have the "explosion" replace the original
image using the onmouseover event.

With the page open click once on the image you want to replace.
Then on the DHTML effects Toolbar, Choose an event, select on mouseover,
then Choose an effect, select Swap Picture, then in Choose settings
select Choose picture.

Dittohead-
I created a page for this using DHTML effects. First I placed a static
image of a bomb on the page and then I selected that image, Chose >Format
>Dynamic HTML effects, chose the option of Mouse Over, Swap image, and
selected some animated flames. The URL for this page follows, and the bomb
will 'explode' when you do a mouseover.

Thanks so much. I will give it a try as soon as I get a
chance.

I checked out what you did and that's exactly what I want.

mike,
I don't know if you're using a preload script for the flames because it's a
little slow on the first mouse over.
I've used this trick instead of a mouseover:
just put the flame somewhere on the page in an inconspicuous location, then
select it/ picture properties/ size and set it as 1px by 1px. that way the
picture is already there. ;-)
easier than a preload too.
