hi i woud like to know about adding an event to a shape, what i want to do is to create a mouse over effect to a shape, so in the shapes propertys box , i select "events" "add event" which will be on mouse over, then i select for the image to "move" on mouse over, where i select how far and what direction i want to move the shape,

but then i am asked to select the target, of which there is a list of all the images and shapes and text in my project all numbered sequentially , ie. shape 1 ,shape 2 up to shape 45,

my question

how am i to know which shape it is out of this list? though i have clicked on the shape in questions propertys box i am asked to select a shape, i have asked this question before, and someone said that i will need an "image viewer" this makes no sense to me, so i am hoping someone can enlighten me as to how we are supposed to tell what image is what

thanks appreciate it

To find the shape number in BV, right click on any shape & select html. You will see the shape id in the html code. IE: id="Shape1"

So if we have a shape on the page, and we want a second one to appear when the first one is moused over:

1) The second shape must already be somewhere on the page? What if I want the second shape to appear ONLY when the first one is moused over (i.e., not have shape2 on the page)?

2) Even when I do have shape2 on the page somewhere, I can't get it to show when I set up the "onMouseOver" event in shape1. Anyone have an idea as to what I might be doing wrong?

I'm also wondering what "onBlur" and various other options mean in the 'Event' dropdown menu of the "Edit Event" window. There must be a tutorial or something (right)?

thanks,
