Xara X creates complete rollovers (buttons and code) and shows you how to do it in the help file.

If you want to do it yourself, the attached code snippet should help. The coloured text is what you have to replace with your own names, the black is fixed.

The script section pre-loads the mouseover image so that it is instantly available when the cursor moves over the button. The unique_dummy_name can be anything but must be unique because it's a variable that holds the image. It's only used in the script section.

The unique_button_name must be a unique name associated with the button. It links the event trapping commands with img tag.

The mouseover.gif, mouseoff.gif and destination_page.htm are self-explanatory, however the use of default.gif may not be so obvious. default.gif is the image that appears before the mouseover event and is loaded by default. For simple rollovers it is the same as mouseoff.gif, but you could have an entirely different image that gets replaced by mouseover.gif / mouseoff.gif the first time the cursor passes over. If that's the effect you want, it will be necessary to add an additional pre-load section to the script block for mouseoff.gif.
