Sub-menu rounded corners

Hi Doc

how do you get the rollover effect on the main menu button?

Unlike the usual MouseOff/MouseOver pairing of buttons the rollover effect is produced by setting the button on the MouseOff layer to trigger a pop up layer called "Pop". The rollover button is placed here. The reasoning behind this is to enable the "over" button to remain visible as the pointer is scrolled down the links below. A link can also be applied to this button to point to an overview type page.

To revert to the normal behaviour of losing the rollover effect when moving the pointer away can be achieved by moving the button back down onto the MouseOver layer (leaving the "pop" trigger in place on the MouseOff button) and copy in the link from the "over" button to the "off button".

Do I need to softgroup the mouseoffsub and mouseoversub layer buttons to get the rollover and link effect

Soft grouping is not needed for the rollover effect but is necessary to keep sync between the button pairs when editing the text.

do I put the link on the mouseoffsub or mouseoversub layers?

Normally both but it can be omitted from the "off" button if the "over" button is on a pop up layer. Either behaviour works with links on both buttons so this is best as a default.
