<br>hey, a preliminary test indicates the transparent button thing might work.<br><br>Any of you Flash graphic wizzes out there that can whip up a transparent button with some sort of shadow around the outer pixels that won't blow up when resized?<br>Even a pixel or 2 black on bottom/right, white on top/left.<br>Just needs over and down states (and they can be identical actually.<br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: d_b_burnett@hotmail.com<br>To: xerte@lists.nottingham.ac.uk<br>Subject: hotspots<br>Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2011 10:58:45 -0500<br><br>

<br>Is there any sort of precedence I can set up that will allow overlapped HS to both function?<br>Or do I need another architecture?<br><br>Issue:<br><br>I have a graphic with multiple hotspots.<div class="RowContainer Visibility"><div class="Row Unselected" onmouseover="if(window.Control)Control.invoke('Microsoft.Live.ContactPicker.ContactPicker', '_onMouseOverContact', event, this);" onmouseout="if(window.Control)Control.invoke('Microsoft.Live.ContactPicker.ContactPicker', '_onMouseFromContact', event, this);" onclick="if(window.Control)Control.invoke('Microsoft.Live.ContactPicker.ContactPicker', '_onToggleSelection', event);">The hs areas need to both react when they are rolled over, (draw a shadow effect to indicate user over hs) and when they are clicked (show feedback).<br></div></div>The feedback also needs to erase on rollout.<br>(This is a proto, so I can't use a button, unless it's transparent. Hmm there's a thought). <br><br>If over a spot I lay 2 hotspots (1 click=0, another click=1) then no matter how I order them in the flow, the hs higher in the tree blocks anything below it from functioning.<br>Also, if I lay a catchall in there, it block everything else.<br><br>I suspect I'm using a hammer when I should be using a saw.<br>Is the transparent button feasible?<br>Maybe a transparent png hot object? (or do i run into the same precedence issue?)<br> </body>
