We are now ready to turn our slices into rollovers and test them
1. Choose the slice select tool from the tools palette.
2. Click on the link and the slice will become active.
3. Open the rollover palette.
Click the new state button and an "over state" will appear. This is the action that will happen when the mouse rolls over the button.
4. Remember we hid the layer styles earlier on? This is the time to show them.
Click the little eye icon and the layer style will be activated.
5. Notice that the preview in the rollover palette also shows the style attached, but only to the "over" state.
Rollovers in Imageready work like this:
Whatever the image looks like in any particular state is what will be displayed. For example. If the layer style is activated only in the "over" state, it will only appear when the mouse rolls over the slice.
Also you can show and hide things in other slices too and they will also change, this is how to create remote rollovers.
(Please don't email me and ask how to do remote rollovers, I will cover that in another tutorial at another date.)
6. With the slice still selected, switch to the slice palette.
Enter a URL (The link you want to go to when you click the button) Here I called it index.htm.
You are all done and the rollover will work when you export the page.
7. Select the next slice that will be a button.
Note: you can enter the slice url before you create the rollover of after, it doesn't really matter.
I called it link2.htm. Name it whatever you want the page to be called, but it must have a .htm or .html extension.
8. Click on the rollover palette and add an over state.
9. Once again, show the effects. To the left you will see the layers palette, before and after.
10. And link 2 is ready to go.
11. Keep repeating until you have created the rollovers and added the url's for all the buttons.
12. To test your rollovers, click the rollover preview button in the toolbar. You should now be able to test your rollovers within Imageready.
Don't forget to click the preview off when you are finished.
In the next installment we are going to optimize and publish the webpage.
