Hi Jason
I think I understand what you are wanting. To do this, try
creating an image that is sized identically to your project (or
rollover slidelet area if that's what you are using). I would use
Microsoft Paint to do this, but you may use any image editor you
like. Just create a large image with the area you wish the image to
show in the center. Color the outside rectangle as you like, but
use a specific solid color in the center. Then insert that image
into your slide (or slidelet) in front of everything else.
Configure the center color as transparent.
Hopefully this helps you solve it... Rick
