In addition to rollovers, you can attach other types of interactivity to slices using the Behaviors panel. You can create custom interactions by editing existing behaviors.

NOTE

Although you can create simple, disjoint, and complex rollovers with the Behaviors panel, the drag-and-drop rollover method is recommended. For more information, see Adding simple interactivity to slices.

The following behaviors are available in Fireworks:

Simple Rollover adds a rollover behavior to the selected slice using Frame 1 as the Up state and Frame 2 as the Over state. After you select this behavior, you need to create an image in the second frame, under the same slice, to create the Over state. The Simple Rollover option is actually a behavior group containing the Swap Image and Swap Image Restore behaviors.

Swap Image replaces the image under the specified slice with the contents of another frame or the contents of an external file.

Swap Image Restore restores the target object to its default appearance in Frame 1.

Set Nav Bar Image sets a slice to be a part of a Fireworks navigation bar. Each slice that is part of the navigation bar must have this behavior. The Set Nav Bar Image option is actually a behavior group containing the Nav Bar Over, Nav Bar Down, and Nav Bar Restore behaviors. This behavior is automatically set for you by default when you use the Button Editor to create a button that includes an Include Over While Down state or Show Down Image Upon Load state. When you create a two-state button, a simple rollover behavior is assigned to its slice. When you create a three- or four-state button, a Set Nav Bar Image behavior is assigned to its slice. For more information on buttons, see Creating button symbols.

Nav Bar Over specifies the Over state for the currently selected slice when it is part of a navigation bar and optionally specifies the Preload images state and Include Over While Down state.

Nav Bar Down specifies a Down state for the currently selected slice when it is part of a navigation bar and optionally specifies a Preload images state.

Nav Bar Restore restores all the other slices in the navigation bar to their Up state.

Set Pop-up Menu attaches a pop-up menu to a slice or hotspot. When you apply a pop-up menu behavior, you can use the Pop-up Menu Editor. For more information, see Creating pop-up menus.

Set Text of Status Bar lets you define text for display in the status bar at the bottom of most browser windows.
