[Pro] Making "Close" buttons for Show/Hide layers

Freeway
1

Hi Folks,
I’d like to create “Close” buttons for a set of Show/Hide layer items that are shown by rolling-over certain text items. The behavior I’m looking for would allow the user rollover a link, see the hidden layer, then dismiss that layer with the Close button.

You can see what I’m working on here:

I gave it a shot by creating buttons with Rollover actions, but I got a little bogged down in the whole Restore thing: what should be restored/sticky/toggled, etc. Can anyone suggest a simple and elegant way to add these buttons?

Thanks in advance!
John

Johnny,

The easiest way to do this is with the Hide Slaves action:
http://actionsforge.com/actions/view/49-hide-slaves

Simply apply the action to the element that you would like to be the close button, and chose the layer group (Aqua, indigo, ect.) that you would like to hide.

You’re going to want to set the show/hide layer action to “initially: hidden - restore: sticky”.
