Mouseover /Swap image

Hi,
I have an image with several hotspots, is there an
(automatic) way to shade
the area on the mouse over rather than creating a image and
using the swap
image SB?
Thanks!

1. Make the images to all be the same size by adding canvas
to the shorter
dimensions in your graphics editor.
2. Once you have done this, use an image rotator script to
make the images
rotate. You can find such things in many places on the web -
from free to
commercial. I have used SlideShowMagic from PVII,
http://www.projectseven.com/,
and the image rotation script from KaosWeaver,
http://www.kaosweaver.com,
before and found them both to be excellent for
this purpose....

Swap Image NOT mouseover

I am trying to swap images in Dreamweaver so when a user goes
to my website, the images swap automatically. I have 4 images that
I want to swap and I want them to change every 7 seconds. I don't
want the user to have to mouseover or click anything, i want the
images to change automatically. I can't get this to work right in
Dreamweaver. It always only swap to 1 image and it never goes back
to the original image.
Also, the images are different sizes and I want them to stay
different sizes. I have 4 images, I want the images to swap every 7
seconds and then restore back to the original image. I want them to
keep swapping every 7 seconds, or I might just want them to swap
through the 4 images once and then restore to the original image
and not swap anymore after that. Can you help me with both of these
scenarios please?

Rollover, hotspot, swap image????

One of my links in my employoee website has a number of
pictures. They are each on their own layer but they overlap
eachother so only one image should show at a time. I have a
selection to the left of the image where the person can click on a
department and a different picture will show up for that
department. I first have to create that in Fireworks and I'm not
sure how. I have each department selection (text) on it's own layer
in photoshop and each picture on it's on layer. Can you explain to
me what I need to do for this? Is it called "swap image" or
rollover or hotspot?
Then after I do that, I want people to be able to drag their
mouse curser over people's faces and that person's info. will
appear at the bottom. I also created every person's info. as a
layer in photoshop. Can someone explain how to do this?

That's what I'm saying, yes.

This will be advanced for you. It's simple enough to add a
hotspot to an
image in DW -
select the image, click on the Polygonal hotspot tool on the
Property
inspector, and draw your hotspot.
What will be trickier for you is the part about the popup.
One simple thing
to try would be to assign a title attribute to the hotspot,
e.g.,
<area title="my name, my title"....
Having done this, as you mouseover that particular hotspot,
you will get a
'tooltip' display of the contents of the title attribute.
There are three
downsides to this method -
1. The tooltip only displays for a short time
2. The tooltip only displays a certain number of characters
(I think 100)
in some browsers (FF)
3. You have no flexibility in styling the tooltip or its
contents
Notwithstanding these, it's simple enough to do, although you
will either
have to add the necessary code (the title attribute and its
value) manually
to the <area> tag, or you will need to use DW's Tag
Inspector to get at the
title attribute.

The way you set it up in Photoshop would have no bearing on
how you would do
this on an HTML page.

How to apply Swap Image Restore for only one behaviour?

Hi, I have two behaviors for one hotspot..
the first, swaps another image on mouse over..
the second, swaps another image on click..
So, i want the "swap image restore" behaviour to apply only for the first, Is there a way to do that? cuz when i try it applies to both.

@ NancyO
I am trying to do the same thing as Magdi_alafifi - I have two swapImages on click that I want to stay and then another swapImage on mouseover with a "swap image restore" on mouse out.
Here is my code:
<img src="360.png" width="26" height="26" id="Image5" onclick="MM_swapImage('InnerSS','','innersolarsystemON.png',1);
MM_swapImage('outerSS','','outersolarsystemON.png',1)" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image5','','360ON.png',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore('Image5','','360.png',1)" />
The first swapImage on click works fine, but the second one swaps on click, and resores on mouseout. The swapImage and swapImgRestore on mouseover and mouseout works fine.
I hope this makes sence.

Swap Image Behavior with Text

I am trying to figure something out but can't seem to find
it. I'm sure it must be pretty simple, but I'm stumped. Basically,
I have a main image and a few thumbnail images below it. I've
attached the Swap Image behavior to each thumb to change the main
image to a different photo and then changed the onMouseOver to
onClick.
The problem is I want to also have some photo text or caption
below the main image to change. Does anyone know how to do this
with more or less stock DW behaviors? Or if not, how to do it in
the most efficient way possible?
Thanks in advance.
-Bill

You could always embed the caption information in the image,
you know? That
would be the simplest way. Is that possible?
Alternatively you could create a series of stacked
containers, each hidden,
in the location where you want your captions. Then you would
make your
onclick event do both the image swap and the Show/Hide on the
associated
caption container (*and* a hide on all the rest of the
caption containers).
This can be pretty tedious when there are lots of images, and
you are using
only the DW User interface (as opposed to Code view). It will
also take you
into the realm of positioned elements (probably) which can be
troublesome
themselves.
Finally, if this is all too much for you, there are EXCELLENT
alternatives
over at projectseven ($) for doing something like this right
out of the box.

"While executing applyBehavior in Swap image.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."

What should be a simple web update is turning into a nightmare. I can't select any of my images to apply onMouseOver Swap Image behaviors, and I keep getting the message above.
Can I just say right now that I hate Dreamweaver CS6 and what it's doing to this project?
Ugh!

Is this a plea for help or a rant?

Swap images while rolling over popup menu

Hello,
I've been playing with fireworks CS5 for some days now and made a first attempt on a website.
So far, i've made a navigation bar with two states in order to be able to add a simple roll over behavior, e.g. darkening text on rollover. I also have been able to make a dropdown menu (popup) via slices.
Then I decided to swap images when on nav bar headings. So far, so good.
When I did a preview in my browser, it appeared that as soon as I was leaving the nav bar, the image swapped back to the old setting. Perfect.
But when I did a mouse over on one of the dropdown menu's of the navigation bar, the image swapped back as well.. I've been trying, but didnt manage to find out how to fix this.
So, is there anyone here that knows if it is possible, and if so, how to keep images swapped to a second stage as long as the mouse is on the dropdown menu, but swaps back to the original state when leaving the dropdown and/or the navigation bar.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Bryan,
It may be possible to cheat and put this onto the button:
the option that you want is called TITLE.
if you set one of the other parameters (e.g. the label)
to be:
LABEL_TEXT" TITLE="TITLE_TEXT
basically when it adds the text onto the form it will wrap it in "
If it doesn't strip out the " from your text you should get your extra parameter.
it may slip past the portal checking.
I can't test it as I only have WebDB, but I have done something similar with javascript in WebDB.
good luck
Michael

Swap images works in preview but not in browser

Hi everyone,
I am attempting to get a swap images to work. It works in the preview window but not when I preview it in the browser. When I open it in a browser the states seem to "cycle" through really quickly in rapid succession. I have linked my png file for you to see. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
denbeck

Your swap image slice is set to Animated GIF. Change it in the Optimize panel to plain GIF or PNG 8

Linking to a swapped image...help

I'm trying to set up a page that has a rightside column of thumbnail images, which, when clickedon opens a larger image in another area. I have done this using swap image. That's all set up, but now I would like to link that larger image to a different page...one with zoomify to show large details. I can't find any way in DW cs4 to do that...the only way the swapped image appears is in Live View and in Vive View the image is unselectable.
Thanks for any help.

I must have done something wrong It's not going to your site. Do you see the problem? Thanks once again.

Two Swap Image Behaviors - Only One Swap Image Restore Works

How come?
I have a button image with a two swap image behaviors applied to it - a rollover for the OVER state and one behavior for a disjointed or "remote" rollover effect.
Both rollover effects work fine, but the disjointed or remote rollover effect does not return the button to it's original state. (I've determined this by removing the second or remote swap image behavior and testing it.)
Why doesn't this work?
All scripts are contained within the HTML page itself; no linked scripts are used.
Thanks!

Swap Image Looks fine in Firefox, not Safari? Can Javascript be an issue in Safari?

Hi, Im new to web design as you may guess.

Swap Image Thumbnail Borders In IE

I'm creating a web site and am using swap image on a Photo Gallery page. In Internet Explorer the thumbnails in the swap image function show blue borders. In Mozilla Firefox the borders display as light green and changing to rust when I hover over the thumbnail which is what I want.
Is there a work around to solve this problem in IE?
The web site being created is http://www.aspenmountaincabin.com/photos.html
Thank you.

Add the below css styles to your css stylesheet:
#mainContent a img {
border: 2px solid #cccc99;
#mainContent a:hover img {
border: 2px solid #996633;

Swap Image not working Except in IE

I am working on a class project, and we've just learned how
to do "swap image" on rollover. It's working beautifully when in
IE, but in Firefox it's not working at all and in Opera it's
working strangely (only when on the "edges" of the flash text not
when rolling over the flash text) Any ideas as to the problem? The
flash text rollover works (changes colors), but the "bubbles" are
supposed to swap images. BTW, I thought it might be a setting in my
browser disabling something, but the swap image on classmates'
sites show up fine.

Thanks

I can't see what is the problem. :-(
Try replacing your flash buttons with plain gif images, it
works the same way and you will have much less code on your page. I
don't think the problem is there but you can always try.

How can I find out what is wrong with swap image in a library

I had a DW8 site that used a library item on many pages with the calls to the macromedia swap image function. Everything was fine.
I've now converted to CS5.5 and I find that:
a) When the library item is changed, the updated pages don't have proper local relative paths. Instead they have the exact path in the library item itself.
b) I can't detatch the library item from a page, I get:
An error occured while loading behavior "Swap Image" Please check this file and associated JavaScript files for errors.
When OK'd this is followed by
Dreamweaver encountered an improper argument.
I went back to DW8, forced a library update and everything was fine. I've checked and so far as I can see, the swap image funtion is identical in the DW8 and CS5.5 versions.
I don't know if a and b are related,

An example page with the associated files that might be involved in this
problem are copied into dummy files on the customer's site:
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/queens2.htm
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/vwqueens.js
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/topNavQueens.lbi
The equivalent working files (from DW8) on the site are
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/queens.htm
http://valeriewilding.co.uk/vw.js
The library file is not normally on the site and, if it was, it would be in
the library directory which could not normally be reached from the htdocs
folder. Going back to DW8 as a workaround has solved problem (a) - the path
error - but downloading these files into a CS5.5 environment should still
show problem (b), being unable to remove the attachment.
There is a second library item on the page, the bottom navigation, and this
can be detached without problem.
The folder structure on my PC is:
htdocs
--- queens2.htm
--- vwqueens.js
Library
--- TopNavQueens.lbi

Swapping images - need to change size

I am trying to create a disjointed rollover so that when I
click on a picture thumbnail in one frame, the full-size image
changes on another frame (it is for a photo website - there are
about 20 thunbnails on a page and a space for only one full-size
image).
It works perfectly fine with "Swap Images" behavior as long
as all full-size images are of the same size - you just set one of
the full-size images as an original as then swap images as you
click on different thumbnails. The problem I am struggling with is
that my full-size images are of different size - "Swap Images"
functions distorts them since it resizes all full-time images to
the same size. What is a solution?

You can do this many ways ways -
1. Don't use swap image - use Show/Hide layer instead. Have
the alternate
image in a hidden layer that is shown when the trigger is
'tickled'. Using
this method you can have images that are any dimension.
2. Use swap image, but remove the dimensions from the
original image's tag,
i.e., change this -
<img name="original" width="150" height="220" ...
to this -
<img name="original" ...
Now when you swap in your offsize image, there is no
predefined size to
change it to. Be aware that this method may well result in an
unpleasant
and undesirable 'rearrangement' of your page layout as it
adjusts to your
new image's dimensions.
3. Pad the smaller image with canvas background color on all
sides so that
all the images *are the same size*.
4. Use a SetTextofLayer (SetText of Element in CS3) behavior
to change the
image reference in a layer (or non-positioned container)
placed so that it
will show the desired larger image in the proper place.
5. Use the PVII ShowPic extension -
