SUMMARY

This article describes how to create mouseover effects.

DISCUSSION

Most objects in AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0 have two events useful for mouseover effects: On Enter and On Leave.

As an example, we will create a button that on mouseover will display an image, and on mouseout will hide the image:

1. Create an image object.
   
   
2. Set its default visible state to false.
   
   
3. Create a button object.
   
   
4. In the On Enter event of the button, enter the following script:
   Image.SetVisible("Image1", true);

   
5. In the On Leave event of the button, enter the following script:
   Image.SetVisible("Image1", false);

When the user's mouse is over the button, the image object will appear. When the user's mouse leaves the button, the Image Object will disappear.

To make text appear on a mouseover, follow the above steps, but with a paragraph object instead of an Image Object.
