In the inspector palette? I can’t find it in the manual.
I have a graphic as a background and some rollover actions on top, when I try to delete the graphic it deletes the rollovers also, can I make them independent?
I can’t seem to make a rollover action a layer.
Thanks,
Alex N.

The Rollover action is just a setting that’s applied to something, it
isn’t an object itself.
When you apply a Rollover action to a stack of graphics, it
effectively ‘lands’ on the rear-most graphic, the one at the bottom
of the stack. You can see this if you move your items slightly so you
can see the top-left corner of the bottom item; with Outlines
visible, you’ll see the Rollover label.
Delete any other item in the stack and hte action remains. Delete the
bottom, and it goes.
With graphics that aren’t layered, you’ll need to uncheck the Combine
Graphics option in the Inspector to make one of the graphics (usually
the top one) be output as a self-contained graphic item in the
layout. Then (and not before then) you can apply the Rollover action,
and it will only be active within that ‘uncombined’ graphic area.
With graphics that ARE layered you’ll need to group them together
first. Then you can apply the Rollover to them, and they won’t
involve whatever graphic happens to be sitting separately underneath
the group.
Remove the action before you try either of these options just to keep
things simple.
