    The Pop-up menu style button is for sub-menu items.

    Click on the Help button in the same dialog window.
    Then Search for "navigation" and open Navigation Bars.
    Read that.
    Finally, on that page is a link to "Creating your own MouseOver Buttons".
    This is the part you need to understand the most.

    In a nutshell:
    Fish shape and text grouped on MouseOff layer.
    Clone and move to MouseOver layer.
    Change colour of fish.
    Soft-group items on both layers.
    Right-click Create Navigation Bar.

    And best to set the justification for the text to Center Align.

    I am not sure I understand your question.

    If you have a navigation bar, by default, the button for the current page does not work. Because you are at that page. But the other buttons will work. When you go to a new page the button for the new page will not work. And by default the MouseOver state is used to indicate the current page.

    Is that what you are asking?

    This navigation bar is use in supersite, what I'm saying is the first button the mouse over work but if I move to the second button the mouse over doesn't work. what I'm trying to do is having let say 4 button for the navigation, each button in a shape of a fish. I have a bar that goes across the top of the site and the navigation bar is in that bar, the bar is same color as the mouse off so you don't see the fish shape but if you go over with the mouse over than the fish change color then you see the fish shape. I was hoping to have the fish shape show up until you make the selection you desired, let say you go to contact the fish shape show up and now you just go over price than the fish shape show up again and the fish shape for contact you don't see it because you move to price. Hopefully this help, thank you again!

    I am not sure if this is what you want. The attached is a 5 page supersite. Preview the site using the Preview Whole Website option.

    The buttons show the mouse over state on each page and the highlighted button shows the current page.

    I used stars because I don't have a fish symbol, but same idea.

    Is this what you want?
