Hello,

I recently created a rollover menue in Adobe's Image Ready. When I tried to
load it onto my web page using NOF3 the images came through but not the
rollover behaviors. The page was published to my computer and previewed in
IE5 and Communicator 4.6. The html was all there, but no behaviors. I called
NetObjects and they are working on it.

Anybody else having this problem or know a workaround?

Thanks,
JJ

Hi JJ,

I use Macromedia Fireworks for splicing images for rollovers, similar to what
you are doing with Image Ready. I found that the best way to do it is to use
the images that are created, but actually use Actions in Fusion for the rollover
effect. That way nothing will conflict,

Best wishes,

Thank you Jason, but that still leaves the question of how to get the
behaviors to work in NOF. Does Image Ready write poor code, does NOF modify
it, or what? Inquiring mind would still like to know. (Will NOF5 fix it?)

Hi JJ,

It's not a matter of bad code, it's a matter of the way ImageReady references
files and the way we manage them. Here is some steps that a customer sent in
before on how they got it to work, so you might want to try it. He had
published the HTML from IR to his DeskTop and then imported that into Fusion.

Here is what you need to do to insert your ImageReady files and scripts:

-insert the Html file as you have been doing previously, by using the
'external HTML' tool
-Make sure that 'import <HEAD>' checkbox is checked and that the 'append to
<HEAD>' selection is chosen from the drop-down menu.
-Also make sure that the 'do not manage assets' checkbox is unchecked.
-Then select the 'layout' so that the 'layout properties' palette is
displayed. Click the 'html' button and then insert the following into the
tab labeled:
'inside <BODY> tag'
ONLOAD="preloadImages();"
(I copied and pasted this from the generated .htm file's <BODY> tag.
-Navigate to 'assets view.'
-Click the 'new' button from the blue menu bar on the top right.
-Click the 'browse button for the 'location' field and choose the first
file in the 'images' folder that was generated from the ImageReady program.
Check the 'always publish file' checkbox and then click 'ok.' (leave the
name blank, as it will be generated by NOF)
-That file should now appear in 'assets view.'
-Navigate to 'publish view,' you should see the new file asset in the root
directory. If you are not publishing by 'flat,' I would like you to do so.
(to publish by 'flat,' click the 'setup' button and choose 'flat' from the
drop-down menu of the 'directory structure' tab)
-Create a new folder ('new folder' from the 'publish' menu) and name it
images
-Move the new image asset into the 'images' folder.
-Repeat this for every image in the original 'images' folder.
