behaviors ??

[Guest]

I have a graphic that I have placed 4 different hot spots on.
I would like to hover over the hot spot and have another graphic come up and
also be a hyperlink.

I have heard this can be done with behaviors but I have had no luck with it.
I am running FP 2003.

Thank you for the help.

You would need to cut the image up into four pieces and create regular
links. You can then create a regular imageswap using Behaviors.

The problem is this, however.

A hotspot belongs to the page, not the image. So, if you apply a hotspot to
an image that will be swapped in, that hotspot does NOT swap with the image.
It's always present on the page whether the image is there or not.

You can do this with layers, and a bit of show-hide trickery, however.
Place the image in a layer that is positioned as you want it (make sure you
carefully avoid the problems with absolutely positioned elements detailed
here - http://www.thepattysite.com/layer_laws.cfm ((written for Dreamweaver,
but applicable to FP)) or here -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp ((revised for a more
complete discussion and more for FP))). Then apply the hotspot to that
image, and hide the layer (this will hide the hotspot as well). Now, make
your rollover show the layer, and bingo - your hotspot will appear as well.
