image hotspots triggering mask and reveal actions on layers

[spliffgweilo webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi, folks. I wonder if you can give me guidance on the best way yo do this:

I have 12 images on the left side of my document. What I want to do is this:

When I rollover an image it ought to pop up information on the right side of teh document: essentially I have 12 layers. Each layer has to boxes inside with text on top of them.

I want to reveal the information connected with each image whenever the mouse clics on an image.

Is there a way to do this?

Any advice is appreciated.
Regards,
Stuart

Stuart--

You can do that with disjoint rollovers. You'll want to work with frames
rather than layers, but it's easy to do if you name the frames and keep
careful track of how you compose the rollovers.

Here's a tutorial built for FW 4 that shows how to do this. Works the same
in FW MX although the panels appear a little differently.

Thanks!!! I did the tutorial and after much brainteasing have managed to put together many disjointed rollovers as well as figure out cool things about foreworlks...like masking on the fly instead of exporting images with alpha channels from photoshop...this stuff is coooool!


again. many thanks.
