Making slices interactive

The basic building blocks for creating interactivity in Fireworks are slice objects. Fireworks offers two ways to make slices interactive:

• The drag-and-drop rollover method is the easiest way to make a slice interactive. By merely dragging a slice's behavior handle and dropping it onto a target slice, you can quickly create simple interactivity.
• The Behaviors panel allows you to create more complex interactivity. The Behaviors panel contains a variety of interactive behaviors you can attach to slices. By attaching multiple behaviors to a single slice, you can create interesting effects. You can also select from a variety of mouse events that trigger interactive behaviors.

Behaviors in Fireworks are compatible with Adobe Dreamweaver behaviors. When you export a Fireworks rollover to Dreamweaver, you can edit Fireworks behaviors using the Dreamweaver Behaviors panel.
