Can’t seem to move my grouped rollover button. I can move the item if I ungroup it and select the buttons just fine. Is that the way to do it, then regroup? Also wondering what the pros/cons of grouping an item are…and/or selecting “layer” fro various items. For now I select layer when there is any kind of issue with items interfering, and it seems to work. Sometimes I just put layer “on” for everything to prevent any problems arising. Is this wise to do or is there a time when you would want to not “layer” things. Thanks much.
I have been asking Softpress for some time to update the Arrow Key command
to include a “how far” box which would display when any Arrow Key is
clicked, but in the meantime, once you have calculated how far, in px, you
need your grouped items to move, click on the Freeway 4/5 Pro Menu, select
Preferences, and enter the distance in the Arrows Nudge box - (there is a
very useful Keyboard Shortcut for the Preferences Window, which is >
Command/Apple Key>comma.) Select your grouped items, then hit the Arrow key
for the direction to move, and voila, your group moves the desired distance,
and is in position.
Obviously the Arrow Nudge distance has to be reset for every move of every
group, but this is quicker than moving each item individually by entering
the revised x & y co-ordinates in the Inspector Pallet.
Now you can see why I would like to be able to specify the distance simply
by hitting any Arrow Key.
I’ll leave your layers query to more knowledgeable folks
