Flash like capabilities in 2003 version?

[jimaga]

Does FP 2003 allow the kind of flash menus that display a
separate picture in a separate location when you hover
over a button/image with the mouse. Similar to the
current 'Swap' function but a different picture in a
different location with a different size.

thanks in advance

Hi Jim,

Take a look at J-Bots Image components (Image Changer) . It includes that
functionality

Hi,

You can do this using the Behaviors menu in FrontPage 2003. This is not
done using Flash, it is done using Jscript.

Insert the two images on your page
Select the one you want to mouse over
Format > Behaviors
Swap Image
Select the image you want to swap (both images will be in the list)
Browse to the 3rd image that you want to swap it to
Check the box to restore on mouse out
OK back to the page
Save it.

hope that helps.

One of the difference between this behavior and J-Bots is that it will not
preload the image.

Just took a look at this and you can use a preloader.

Yes, sorry.

One of my steps should have also been to make sure "Preload Images" is
checked as well, because if you try to swap images without preloading them,
the image will download at swap time and on dialup it can look really quite
funny.
