When hovering over button text it does not show button rollover state

Hi

I'm new to captivate and I'm looking for some help please. I have created buttons with Adobe Flash and saved them in PNG format, I have created an upState, overState and downState. These are working really well when I use them in Captivate. However when I add text to my buttons and rollover the text the buttons don't change state. They only change state when I hover over the button itself (a bit without the text).

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

When you said you added text to the button, you didn't by any chance just place a transparent text caption over the top of the button did you? If so, that might account for why your button wasn't responding to mouseover.

I did yes, is there a way around it? I've tried creating the text on the button in Photoshop but when I insert into Captivate the text is not very clear

Have you tried adding the text to the buttons in Flash? That's what I do when I make buttons in Photoshop to use in Captivate. My guess is that when you add text on top of your button, it is keeping it from using the up, over, and down states - the text properties are probably over-riding the properties of your button because it is layered on top.

I've tried creating the text on the button in Photoshop but when I insert into Captivate the text is not very clear. I've been messing about with sizes and fonts but it doesn't look as good as it does if it was done in Captivate

Julie,

I do often create buttons in Photoshop, and wonder why your text is not very clear? I try to have a bigger size and rescale them, and always use PNG-24 bit as format. They are clear for me.

Stacking another object on top of a button will indeed disturb its functionality.
