The images appear as states in the Object States panel, and a dashed frame borders the selected images.
4 Create navigation buttons that trigger the Go To Next State and Go To Previous State actions when the mouse button
is release. See
Create buttons .
5 Use the Preview panel (Window > Interactive > EPUB Interactivity Preview / SWF Preview) to test the navigation
buttons.
6 Export the document to SWF format. See Interactive documents .
Edit a multi-state object
1 Select a multi-state object.
2 In the Object States panel, do any of the following:
• To edit a state, select the state in the Object States panel, and then edit the object. For example, you can add a
stroke or fill or resize the object.
• To add an object to an existing state, select both the object and the multi-state object, and then click the Add
Objects To Visible State button .
• To add an object to an existing multi-state object, select both the object and the multi-state object, and then click
the Convert Selection To Multi-State Object button .
• To duplicate a state, select a state to base the new state on, and choose New State from the panel menu. Add,
remove, or edit the content of that state.
• To paste objects into an existing state, cut or copy one or more objects, select the multi-state object, select the
state in the Object States panel, and choose Paste Into State from the Object States panel menu.
• To convert a multi-state object back to a set of independent objects, select the state in the Object States panel and
choose Release State To Object from the panel menu. To convert all states in the multi-state object to objects,
choose Release All States To Objects.
• To delete a state and remove its contents, select the state and choose Delete State from the panel menu.
• To hide the multi-state object in the exported file until it’s triggered by a button, choose Hide Until Triggered
from the panel menu.
• To reset all multi-state objects in the document to the first state, choose Reset All Multi-State Objects To First
State from the panel menu. When you select a state, the object remains in that state, even if you close and reopen
the document. This option is a quick way to reset all the multi-state objects.
Create button hot spots
In some cases, you may want the button area (called a “hot spot” or “hot link”) to be invisible until the mouse pointer
hovers over it. For example, when you move a pointer over a button on a map, an image could be displayed that
represents a region, and the image could disappear when the pointer moves away from the region.
