Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie, let's continue to talk about those Interactive Behaviors. The next one we're going to talk about is the Image Swap, you have an image on there you lay your mouse over it, it flips. So let's insert an image. What I have is email 1 and email 2, those are going to be in your work files so you can play around with them if you want to. I'm going to select email 1 and insert that and go ahead and save my image since it's embedded there. Now I'm going to Select the Image, I'm going to add a Swap Image Behavior. Right now it says the original image URL is the one, now we're going to swap that with email 2. click OK, click Ok again and now let's preview it and you'll notice it swaps. But it didn't restore back because we didn't put that element on there. So let's go back, Select our Image, let's insert the Swap Image restore. Basically it tells you, it's going to restore them to their previous, so let's save this again, Preview it and now we can get back and forth over it and it automatically will work, nice and easy. You can double click those images and just edit them like you normally do for any Picture Property if you want. I can go over here, I can double click those, just to read the elements and the information if I want to see more information. Notice down here it's going to preload the images automatically which is nice, so that way people don't have to wait, there's no delay on there. There was also the option here, you can restore it on the Mouse Out Event, that's another way to put that restore option automatically on there. Now the last behavior I want to just show you is just simply go to URL. If I type CNN in here and I don't make any Hyperlink on it, I can highlight that text though and do a Go to URL function. Click OK, now let's preview this in Firefox this time. If I lay my mouse there, Boom, there we are in CNN. They didn't have to click on anything, it just automatically happened. So you might have that go to URL on some page that people have in their bookmarks that aren't usable anymore, so you can just have it automatically flip and go to the correct URL. So take a minute, try the Image Swap Behavior and try the go to URL Behavior in your website.
