Any way for rollover to affect other object states?

Hi! I failed to find a solution to this problem, maybe you could help me?

So I have a slide with 5 image buttons, where each opens a specific description slide. Each of buttons have rollover state.

Problem is my customer wants to make all buttons react to placing cursor over single one. For example, all buttons are in color, and when you place your cursor over any button, every other button turns black and white.

Does anyone have any idea how could i do this? Please, help.

Rollover is not an event out of the box in Captivate, except for rollover slidelets. However there is no rollout event, which makes me suspect that this will not be useful for you, and they are not compatible with HTML output.

If you want only HTML output, have a look at the new CpExtra widget by InfoSemantics:

Thanks a lot for the reply! I'm not sure I got it right, but I tried to put a rollover image on each button, but it covers the actual button interaction area, so this workaround makes it impossible to actually push the button.

Which output do you need? Rollover image will not do the trick at all. Only clicking can be used to change states of other buttons, or you should need to use the CpExtra widget which allows to create rollover and rollout events.
