Question

Rollover Slidelet does not function when the trigger & display areas overlap

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use a rollover slidlet where the user hovers over a specific area (my target area) and then an image appears within that same area; thus I want my target area and display area to be the same. Then when the user clicks on this same area, I also would like the slide to continue onto the next slide. The technique works fine when the trigger area and and the display area DO NOT overlap, but once they do the image in the display area no longer appears and my mouse begins pulsing. Does anyone know how I can get the slidelet to behave like I want it to? Or know of any other way I can accomplish this? Advanced actions?

Thanks so much.

Indeed, you cannot have Rollover area and Rollover slidelet in the same place, very annoying.

Advanced actions cannot be triggered by a rollover event, except for Rollover slidelet, and that is the issue. If you really want a hover over effect, the only way I see is using the Eventhandler widget from InfoSemantics, it is not free:
