rollover

Hi All,
Total Newbie to Freeway Pro, learning as i am going along. Fantastic product, coming from Iweb this is begining to feel more like a proper web creation world.

I am looking at a Freeway Tutorial for simple table based rollover on youtube - It mentions the Action “Rollover” - I only have “Text Rollover” in my actions menu??
Am i missing something ?

Thanks
Steve

Actions are context sensitive ie certain actions will only be available on certain items.

Have you selected a graphic item before you look in Item>Actions

Hi, thanks for the reply

The link for the tutorial is here -

I do exactly what the video tells me but no “Rollover” Action for me, the only action with rollover is “text rollover” i see that the video was from 2010 so it may be an older version or different?

It probably is something very simple so please bear with me :slight_smile:
Cheers

First just double check that the item you created was a Graphic item.

The other thing to check is in Edit>Actions - in the window that opens you will see a list of all the actions available. Look in the section Standard and then in Trigger. Make sure that the Rollover action is enabled (tickbox)

Edit>Actions - Everything is ticked (which i presume means On)

I have done it this way and it works -

  • created my graphic
  • Clicked the Actions Icon on the toolbar
  • Nothing appears, but if i click the + symbol on the bottom left i can then click the rollover action from this list

Now that may be the correct way of doing it? however i thought it would appear in the Insert-Actions dropdown (like the video) ?

Thanks

No - I haven’t watched the video but that action is an Item Action which means you have to select the item first (your graphic). Then Go to the Item Menu >Actions>Rollover

Are you after the same than shown in the video which is at least a menu? Then I’d recommend to use the css-menu action applied to a simple list which is massive easier and SEO friendly.

Within that action there is all you need to create things like shown here. The video had been produced (as far as I remember) to a time when the css-menu action hadn’t been created. So it’s probably a bit out of time.

Cheers
