    How to do this?

    Hello all

    I have no idea how to do what I want. I'm creating an image for the first
    page of a photography gallery with CorelDraw. I would like parts of the
    image work as links to individual galleries (eight in number). I would also
    like each selected link area to change from a circle with text into a round
    image when the cursor is placed over it. The image will be different in each
    link.

    Preferably, I would like the the link change from a circle with text into a
    round image in slow-motion/gradually.

    If I only had one link, I know it's possible to make a link of only a part
    of an image (even though I don't know how yet) and I'm also aware of a
    simple JavaScript that makes the image change when the cursor is placed over
    it. I would just make two version of the whole image. But how to do this
    with eight link areas in the same picture?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Meri

      Sounds more like a job for Macromedia Flash. You can use it to fade
      opacity, 'tween' movement, and whatever else.

      I suppose without resorting to animated gif, you could use the IE
      directX opacity filter. But, sounds more like a job for Flash.

          See the thread that started just a couple of hours earlier than yours, "Link
          rollovers with unsliced images".

              Client side imagemap. URL would help more BTW.

              If I understood you correctly, you have image with only 8 cirles with
              text in one image? That's not good, it is better to slice image to 8
              parts.

              So you certainly don't need flash.

              Just because you can do it with Flash, don't make it only, nor good
              choise. In this case JS is much better option, as then links will work
              always, and fancy transient if JS is enebled. In flash case, it don't
              work when flash is not enabled/installed and if it works, it prevents you
              from using your browsers normal surfing methods.

              No need for animated gif, even if that is one possibility. More likely,
              few partially transparent png's and JS. Maybe IE opacity filters for
              dressing as IE don't support png.
