Creating a Swap Image Effect

1. Open the gallery.ufo if not already.
2. Click on the slice tool. Our page should be sliced already.
3. Select the "People" cell (click on the marker)
4. On the Slice panel, choose the Script Effects tab


5. Highlight the "Triggered by cell" option, then click the add icon.
6. Choose "Swap Image" from the context menu to open the Swap Image dialog box.

The Swap Image box gives us several options for creating our effects. The Event drop down let's us choose how we want the effect to be triggered. In this case, when the mouse cursor hovers over the link. There are three main sections on this box. The cell display window (1), the cell list (2) and the Swap Image source (3).


7. In the Event drop down select onMouseOver if it isn't already chosen.
8. Check the box next to "Display effect on event: on MouseOver"
9. In the display window, click on the image holder square or select the "swap" cell from the list.
10. Click the folder icon and browse to the people.jpg you put in your My Site Files folder. This was included with the zip file youdownloaded.
11. Make sure the Restore After Rollover box is checked.
12. Click OK.
13. Repeat steps 3 through 12 with the 3 remaining links (Nature, Buildings, Landscapes) and use the corresponding images (step 10) for the Swap effect.

Before we close this page, let's add a link to our first page so visitors can get back to the start of our site if they need to.

1. Select the top banner cell on this page.
2. In the Properties tab on the Slice panel, click the File icon (yellow folder) and browse to the index.html file in your My Site folder.
3. In the ALT Text box, type Back To My Home Page

Save your page as a .ufo for use later if needed. Preview your page if you want.

Save this page as HTML in the My Site/gallery/ folder and name it gallery.html
