Still not rolling over correctly...

[netbuddy]

I have made several buttons which require some swap image function...

Fireworks, followed the tutorial supplied with program and it aint happening...

If anyone can help me solve the riddle, clearly the tutorial is missing out an important step as I have readit so many times know I know it of by heart word for word.

So anyone got anything to throw my way? Be my guest as IM banging my head and the paracetamol aint getting rid of my headache.

how about we see your code so we know what you're doing?

Attached file is...

The generated output from fireworks 7.

The rollover should change from grey drop shadow to orange drop shadow.

The thing clearly isnt working as per instructions and IM wondering what it is that fireworks is missing or what I have not been told to be more exact.

If anyone can tell me WTF is going on with this pile of junk Id appreciate it, my overall impression on Fireworks as a website tool is diminishing rapidly even though I have seen many sites that work without problem.

So if anyone can help I would appreciate it as IM starting to lose it with my computer, already kicked it once today...

Let's see...
This is you code for mouseover<a href="#" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore();" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('example_r2_c1','','images/example_r2_c1.jpg',1);">
Notice that on onMouseOver image name is same as your original image so when you do the mouse over it changes to itself. Also you don't have the over status image in your images folder
So make 2nd image, save it into your images folder and change onMouseOver code to point to the 2nd image!

<a href="#" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore();" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('example_r2_c1','','images/example_r2_c1-over.jpg',1);">

Which is why IM wondering about this product... I have followed the tutorial myself very closely. My girlfriend had a similar issue with Dreamweaver, after writing the page code, saving, then viewing, nothing happend.

Why IM asking, am I missing any information that the manual writers neglected to include. This is by no means a rare occurance, lots of manuals have important information missing because of the writers familiarity to the product that they are writing, so does anyone know fireworks that can put step by step instructions on this so I can compare it with what IM doing?

I have checked that the rollovers are to be included in the rendeing of the HTML and other settings, I just cant see what is wrong. Makes a handy image tool though.

Unfortunately looking at the code wont help as the rendering is done from fireworks which generates all the site code and rollover information in the images and also scripting to help the page loading, etc.

As a work around, I render the slice in rollover and export it prefixed with the page name and post fixed with _over.

I then edit in dreamweaver to make sure that the information is correct and the site works fine, long way of doing it but no choice.

The way I do it is I make images originals and _over. Make page with your original images and in dreamveawer I use swap image from Behaviors
