DW MX dis-jointed roll-overs

hi all,

does anybody know how to make disjointed roll-overs work properly in DW?

I can make it work such that if i only want to swap the disjointed image with another it's fine.

If however I want the button to change as well then one of two things happen.

I am working using the swap image behaviour. What i have been trying is i select the menu button (say cars) - go to the behaviors panel and choose swap image. I leave the button image selected in the new window and browse for my button rollover image - press ok. So that's my button rollover sorted.

Leaving the menu button selected I then press the plus sign to add another behavior. Again I choose swap image and this time in the new window, rather than leave the menu button selected - i choose the disjointed image that i want to replace. I then browse for the image that i want to replace it with, select and press ok.

Then when i go to preview with F12 all initially seems fine... i put the mouse pointer over the menu button and it changes to it's roll-over image. also the dis-jointed image has been replaced with the image that i want so all is as i want it so far. the problem is that when i move the mouse pointer away the disjointed image changes back but the menu button does not. even if i then put the pointer over other images it remains in the rollover state...

If i try it the other way around and do the behavior for the disjointed image first then the opposite happens and when i move the mouse away..... yes the menu button changes back and the dis-jointed image remains in it's rollover state....

if anybody can help with this i would be much obliged as it is necessary and not a superfluous (is that spelt right?) show-off thing....

thanks

jim

You now know why so many people dislike wysiwyg editors with a passion. It will rarely ever do exactly what you want it to, so you'll have to go digging into the code. : )

Off the top of my head, I would say the immediate answer to your problem is that DW is only completing the code for one of your image rollovers. So, you'll need to complete the other one manually. (On the plus side, I have always felt that dreamweaver is possibly the best tool out there for learning how to code manually; so you've got a good head start.)

If you want to email me the code, I can look it over for you and give you a better answer; and possibly even working code. I'm not sure if this thread belongs under Flash anyhow
