    Nested Rollovers

      I'd like to create an effect where on rollover of a large text block an icon button appears within the block and when I rollover the icon button it changes color. This is an effect that's done all over the web and I'd love to be able to put it in my prototypes/mocks, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in FW. Basically, it seems like I'd have to have a slice within a slice or something like that, but that doesn't work since they're activated separately.

       

      Is this possible?  I've been trying to figure out for over a year, I hope there's just something I don't get.

       

      Thanks!

      Stephanie

          It can't be done in Fireworks, Stephanie, but could be done in Flash. Note that ideally, you should be using HTML text on web pages rather than images of text.

            Ok.  I was really hoping there was something I missed... 

             

            And by the way - this is only for prototypes and mocks, definitely not for production!  Yes, exported images are a terrible way to put text on the web.  (in fact, most of the work could be done completely in html/css with no images at all...)
