Swapping images/text question?

Hi, I am moving this question to this forum from general as I got a response suggesting that dynamic html could be the solution to my problem. Any guidance on how to set up the behaviour would be much appreciated.
The problem I have is that I have created a navigation menu using plain text that changes colour on hover and two images in different divs swap images. It all works fine using a standard behaviour but now the client has asked if I can also make the opposite work ie. when the user rolls over the image, then the text changes colour. Is this possible without creating the text elements as images and swapping them using a standard behaviour?
I am not very familiar with the capabilities of javascript so some guidance would be great.
The present draft site is here, so you can see the problem.
Many thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
I suggest you to use javascript. I will try to give you a basic examle for this problem with a short explanation. Let's say you have the following html code
Here comes the default text of the elementThe image has the id of firstimage and the div#first will be the object where the text will swapped at onmouseover event.
The code above will catch the rollower event of the #firstimaged object and will make the ChangeTextofDivIdfirst javascript function run. With the used innerHTML property you may specify any html code instead of the 'the swapping text' .

Swap Images to cover text

Ok...so I'm fairly new to the design world. I'm trying to do
a swap image (which I understand in the basic form). I have a nav
bar at the bottom of my site with photos and when I scroll over
them I want a larger picture to pop up on top of them. But here's
the issue. Above the nav. bar is text in the body of the site so I
want the image to be place on top of that text. So in an odd way, I
don't want to swap anything, I just want to have an image pop up.
Any thoughts? Does my question make sense??

You mean like this?

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.

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.

DreamWeaver Swap Image question

Hello!
I have created a simple swapImage page which is functioning properly (4 images).
My question is: Is it possible to make each image have it's own link?
Basically I wanted to create 4 images that act as a teaser to 4 indivdual stories and if someone
sees a story that they like they can click on it and it brings them to a page within my site for more info.
THANKS!

It is possible, but not using DW's Swap Image behavior.
To do this you'd have to use either -
Show/hide element
SetText of element
Custom javascript
The second option may be the best one. What is your skill level with HTML?

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.
I'm trying to put together a website navigation page with several swap image div tags. When I view the page in Firefox it looks fine, after the behavior is applied the page doesn't view at all in safari?
Can anyone please help with this?
I have used a lot of different images and styles (some of which are no longer relevant). Please see below for code -

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

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 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.
http://198.86.244.3/drsimpson/WEB140/drsimpsongallery/
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.

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.

Swap Image Restore Confusion

In a nutshell, I have three buttons - each button has a
rollover effect AND should also trigger a swap image. When you move
off the button the rollover returns, but the picture stays the
same. What am I doing wrong?
On this one the button rolls over correctly and the image
changes, but does not return to the text image on t mouse out.
http://www.fischerexcavating.com/index_new.htm
This one the button does NOT roll over but the image swaps
out correctly.
http://www.fischerexcavating.com/index_new2.htm
I can not for the life of me get these to work TOGETHER!

Thank you in advance!

Remove everything you have.
Select the button and apply an image swap. In the list of
images, select
the first one you want to swap out, and browse to and select
the one to roll
in. Then in that same list of images, select the next one you
want to swap
out, and repeat. Do this as long as you still have images you
want to swap.
Only then would you click OK and close the behavior dialog
panel. This will
give you -

Image Text Wrapping html/css

Ok, I've searched around and I don't think this is possible but...
Every example of image text wrapping I can find requires that you put the <img> into your html before or after a paragraph. I'd like have it so that I can move my image anywhere on the left side of my div box and the text will flow around it. My concern is that I want my image placed on the left side but in the middle of a paragraph so that text from the paragraph wraps all around it on the top, right, and bottom.
I realize that you can insert an <img> in the middle of the words to the paragraph and float left in css but my problem with that is it seems if the text gets resized in a browser or something it won't naturally flow with the image but yet get stuck there and get funky.
Did I lose you guys? Any ideas? Is this possible?
Thanks again

To answer your question, you can place a floated image anywhere you wish but it will never look or stay exactly where you put it when text size is increased. Remember, print design is static, web design isn't. You can use EMS instead of pixels to keep things a bit more uniform when text sizes change.

Help using swap images to swap 2 separate images

I am trying to use swap images to swap two separate images on
the same page but I can't get it to work. Here is the code for one
image, rotator. I also have a second image,rotatorB that I want to
swap different images with. I think I need two separate codes but
do not know how to do it.
Thank You

Sorry, I don't know enough about how fireworks functions - but overall, I think it's always best to create the slices in a program like fireworks, (or image ready, etc), and then build the actual page in Dreamweaver (or other web software). It's kind of like how Photoshop used to let you create the slices, then export the entire photoshop file as an html page - it would create a very basic page with multiple nested tables that were nothing but trouble...
For what it's worth - Dreamweaver makes it fairly easy to do - once you're familiar it should only take a few minutes to accomplish (once you have all of the pieces saved to the images folder).
Fireworks isn't a web-creation software - it's function is to optimize images for the web, and slice up graphics (from what I know about it, anyway...)
**Also, on a side note - there are many disadvantages to creating buttons with graphics - number one reason is down the road when a client wants to add or modify the buttons, they will need the original photoshop file - and the fonts loaded in order to accomplish... then need to save out both the on and off state for each. I've been there, and they find it very annoying (known to lose customers because of it). Secondly, search engines and Handicap accessible software can't read graphics - even if you apply "alt tags", it's not as good as having a text link. If possible, it's best to use text for the links (and creating the rollover effects with stylesheets - there are tons of examples: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=css+rollover&form=MS8TDF&pc=MS8TDF&src=IE-SearchBox
Hope that helps

Swap Image Setup?

I have always done my swap image setup in tables. I have recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS4 and would like to know if there is a more efficient way to do this using CSS? (Layout sketch attached)

I have the three column layout figured out, but now how do I create five
equal sections on the right column and five equal sections on the left
column.
You don't. The left and right section would be width constrained. Just placing 5 thumbnail images into each will cause them to align vertically down the column, e.g.,
<div id="leftside"><img><img><img><img><img></div>
(pseudo-code at best - each image would need to be wrapped in an anchor tag, and the behavior would be applied to that anchor.)
And within the middle section how do I add a left section,
right section and bottom section?
Left/right? I don't see those on your diagram. But again, you don't really need to -
<div id="middleSection">
<div id="enlargedImage"><img></div>
<p id="imageCaption">blah blah</p>
</div>
The SetText behavior would be used to specify the HTML for the image tag in the 'enlargedImage" div, and the text content in the "imageCaption" paragraph. OR, you could scrap those inner elements and just have the middleSection container, with the behavior specifying the HTML for both inner containers, which would be styled by virtue of the ID values and the existing CSS.

Swap Images and URLs at the Same Time

I would like to not only to swap images when one rolls over a thum image, but at the same time I would like to have a link swapped in the new image. I am using behaviors to swap multiple images on a page. So to be clear I have several thums that one can roll over. When a thum is rolled over with the mouse a large image is swaped in a different location on the page. I would like to be able to attach a unique link to a URL to each of these new large images when they are swapped.

The link below will take you to a life page. In this example, the changing
text below the large changing image is in fact an image that is swaped out
as one moves the mouse over a thum on the right side of this page. This
changing text image will have an "Add to Cart" button. The button could be
part of the text or perhaps yet another image that changes as one moves
over the thums on the right. Here is where I need the help. As one clicks
on this text image that is changing (or changing button) I would like to
have a link associated with this image that will add the customors choice
of pillows to their cart. Need help with how to associate a unique link to
unique URLs with this changing text image.

How can I Change Asset names for swapped images in duplicated symbols?

I have what seems to be a bug in edge animate cc2014 in following circumstances:
1. Duplicate a symbol
2. Drag duplicate symbol onto stage.4
3. Rename symbol
4. Click to edit symbol
5. Select an image inside the symbol
6. In properties panel change path to swap the image to be used in this instance of the duplicated symbol ( I need to reuse this symbol many times and not being able to change asset names is a real problem!).
7. The names for the asset in both the timeline and the elements were auto generated at the time of duplication when try to change the names they revert back to the auto generated names.
How can I overcome this problem which is clearly a bug or a poorly thought through bit of programming by an otherwise highly competent adobe edge animate tesm
Thank in advance
David.

Again, incorrect. It's not about how I can address a specific symbol with code - no problems there - it's what the composition loads into the symbol. Try it with some complex component or sub- symbols.
Work-Around for using Duplicated and Revised symbols (symbol variants) in the SAME document. Solution.
Tedious, but easy. Low risk. Edge Animate 2014.1.1
When you duplicate a symbol comprised of symbols itself ("sub-symbols"), only the outermost symbol gets a unique name, not it's component inner symbols. Upon import of additional variants, a unique name is created in the Library/Symbols panel for the inner symbols, yet the references in the outer symbol can't update to use those unique inner-symbol names. Therefore, the composition loads the symbol with the matching name. This will be the first variant to be imported.
Make the Duplicate
Duplicate the symbol in the Library/Symbol Panel. Rename. Export.
Prepping the Symbol
Open a new document, import and place the new symbol.
Select the asset to be switched/replaced. Make the switch in the property panel. Properties/Images/Swap button. (I revised my base or source symbol to have different colored background images. This is how I created 4 color variants.)
Save the new document, of course. "Example1.an"
Export the revised symbol from the Library/Symbol Panel for safe keeping.
Return to Example1.an
Elements Panel: Work through the nested symbols, adding a preceding identifier to all symbols in the heirarchy.
*KEEP IT SIMPLE so you can easily and quickly move through the .js files in the following steps.*
Save Example1.an.
Library/Symbols Panel: Go down the list, renaming all the symbols with the same preceding identifier as was used in the Elements Panel. *I advise to stay parallel with the Elements panel. Change as little as possible.*
Disregard any odd appearance you may see on the stage for now.
Save Example1.an
Revising the Code
In Edge Code, also part of the Creative Cloud suite, or any code editor, open the two .js files for "Example1.an." found in the same folder...Edge.js and ...EdgeActions.js
...Edge.js
find "symbolName" - prepend with the identifier whatever is not already prepended.
at the same time, look for "id" nearby - prepend with the identifier whatever is not already prepended.
Save
...EdgeActions.js
First read the grey comments about not degrading the //Edge Comments.
Search the document for "//Edge symbol" - prepend whatever is not already prepended.
Carefully check all the orange text, prepending the symbol names you find. This same code can be seen in your Code Panel with the "Full Code" button.
Save
Return to Edge Animate
When prompted to Reload, say yes.
Save Example1.an
EXPORT your new top level symbol - now a fully separated asset.Now you have created a fully unique symbol, which can be used in conjunction with other variants in the same document.
Import your new, unique symbol variant it into your real document.
This is the solution if your Symptoms are:
I duplicated symbols to make different variations, but now I can't use the duplicated symbol variants together.
When I try to swap images in a duplicated symbol, it succeeds when used alone, but reverts when used with the original symbol.
My duplicated symbol works properly alone, but not when it is used with the original symbol.
My symbol seems to revert to the original source symbol.
