Rollovers with Layered Items

OK. I followed the instructions in the Reference Manual for overlapping rollovers (p246), but it doesn’t seem to work.

I’ve got my two layers. One with a normal image and the other with my rollover image. I combine them, then use the rollover action.

The action shows the container item and the two states. I set it up so it looks good in Freeway, but when I preview it in a browser the entire conatainer is invisible. Nothing shows up.

If it matters, these rollover layers are over another layer.

Any ideas?

The layer you are placing the rollover button over wouldn’t happen to be a Flash file would it? If it is, the problem is you cannot layer anything on top of Flash as Flash will always force it’s way to the top of the pile.

OK. So here’s what happened. (Anybody watch Monk??)

I’m doing all this on a master page. Everything is disappearing when I preview in browser. Then, I check out the page the master is based on and it’s all messed up. The images for the rollover are all over the place not even looking like the master page.

So, I delete the rollover image and the actions and now the original image isn’t showing up either.

So, dumbfounded. I quit Freeway and redo the rollovers, only this time when I duplicate, I do it directly over the original image. Then, set up my rollovers and it’s fine now. (???)

One other thing. Using this method you always have the container object (from grouping) plus your other two images. What is supposed to be checked off on the container item. Just Normal??

Thanks…
