swap image - Behavior function

C

cp

I am trying to learn how to create a text link that, when
clicked, will change an existing picture I have on the
same page. Right now, the only way I can do it is to
create a hyperlink that opens up to a whole new URL with
the new image. The problem is it takes too long to load,
and I really do not want to recreate a whole new text
page when I only want the picture to change.

I tried to us the Behavior function but it only swaps
pictures if you put your mouse on the existing picture.
Again, I want to select some adjacent text that is on the
same page, but different table, and have it change the
existing image to a new image.

As an example of what I am trying to achieve you can view
a site http://www.vetta.com/Product_RT88.html. Instead
of text they use a button to change to colors of a
product. Basicaly, this is what I want to do.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
you can do that with the FP2003 swap image behavior.
1/ Insert a link or graphic that you want to use as the swapimage trigger
2/ insert the picture you want to swap
3/ click on the link/graphic in step 1 hit Format - Behaviors - Swap Image
4/ Select the picture you want to swap in the image list and browse to the
image you want to swap it to

That should be all you need to do

Thanks Jon,

Your suggestion worked when I did a new test page. I
simple inserted a picture in a table and then typed in 3
words below the table (picture 1, picture 2 and picture
3). The problem is I have more than one picture on my
page and I can't figure out how to specif the specific
picture that I want swaped. In trying your steps on my
page it simple threw the new picture above the text.

Hi,
When you hit Format - Behaviors - Swap Image you'll see a dialog with all
the images on your page. Click on the image you want to swap to highlight it
and browse to the image you want to swap it to.

You can choose just 1 image to swap or as many as you like.

Got it. Is there also a way to swap out text in an
adjacent table on the same page with some new text, or do
I need to format each text description as a jpg and then
swap?
