I need some help from XWD experts

[vffinder]

Hi friends,
I'm working on this fluxogram. I created a "mouse over" effect to highlight each step. Now, what I need is to find a way to click on a step and jump to an advanced frame (like Frame 8, etc.). That's a big problem to me. Any help?
Ps: Sorry about my english. I'm from Brazil.

FLUXOGRAM


FRAME 8 (there will be an 9, 10, 11, etc.):

Nobody?

I see that you're createing an animation with a number of frames. Is there any reason why you would not used popup layers to reach your goal?

Hi friend,
That's why I'll make a swf (flash) file.
Thanks for asking.

Hey folks,
Is that impossible?

Hello vffinder

What you are asking is certainly possible.

Link each button to a different popup layer (you need a separate layer for each button).

Use the MouseOver to Popup layer. Place your content (circle in this case) on the popup layer. Place a copy of your button on the pop up layer in a different state. This will give you a mouse over effect.

Link the buttons on the pop up layer to wherever you want to link, page, url, etc.

I am going to cover this in the next Xara Xone Workbook (to be posted on 15 August).

OK See if this works. I did not use Flash but recreated what you have done using popup layers. The colored circles on the popup layers are linked to pages in the document though you could link them to anything you want.

Thanks Gary,
