How is this done?

Hi.

I am trying to work with tabs, but the basic tab tutorial on the softpress site leaves you with a really basic looking setup.

On this page http://www.softpress.com/products/explore.php I presume tabs are used and then some action to move the content.

Please can someone help me achieve something similar?

Thanks
Steve

Thanks Dan, I had seen the Carousel action which creates a great finished product but looks like it will be hard to update different layers/tabs in the future.

I will give it a go.

I have managed to get the basics done and the tabs working well. How do I know get the movement of the panes content from right to left like on the freeway site linked above?

Thanks for your help

I am nearly there. I have used the latest instructions from Walt’s website that say to group everything at the end, which seems to have solved the problem. I will do some more work and testing with this, but I’m definitely going in the right direction.

To repeat a reply from Walter posted on another thread about editing grouped rollovers:

Change the Site panel to Page view. You will see a hierarchical list of all elements on the page. The currently-selected element will be highlighted, and if you click on another element on the list, the corresponding element will also be highlighted on the design view.

Once you have selected the element you want to edit, press the Return key, and that element will come forward temporarily so you can edit it. If it’s a text container, it will get a flashing text cursor, so you can edit the text within it, etc. Everything about the rest of the element can be modified using the Inspector or keyboard shortcuts or menu items.
