Navbar Creation and Editing

Hi,

I am trying to create a customized navbar but running into an ungroup and regroup problem. Here's my procedure and hopefully someone can help.

1. 1.) Create a button with text and group
2. 2.) Copy this button to the Mouse Over Layer
3. 3.) Ungroup this button in the Mouse Over layer and change background color of button
4. 4.) Group button and text in mouse over layer
5. 5.) Create a soft group between the Mouse over and Mouse Off layer with these two buttons
6. 6.) Create a Navigation Bar.

At this point if I want to say change the background layer of one of the buttons in the mouse over layer I think this is what I need to do:

1. 1.) Remove Softgroup
2. 2.) Ungroup the Mouse Over Group
3. 3.) Edit the particular button that I want to edit

So at this point I thought I would start the grouping and soft grouping again but at this point I can't create the navbar anymore.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Steve

Not quite.

Shape & Simple Text on top --> Align --> Group
Clone --> Move to Mouse Over
Ctrl+Select Shape --> Fill colour
Ctrl+Select Text --> Fill colour
Soft Group both layers
Create NavBar

You creation method works.

Edit NavBar
Ungroup to edit graphics
Solo select required layer
Ctrl+Select First Shape or Text
Edit
Select all buttons
Create NavBar with All buttons the same to ensure all get the same treatment.

Do not unpick any Shape or Text while it is still a NavBar.
