Question

Connecting dynamic text to a portion of an image

Here's a general RoboHelp question.

For each dialog box in our app, I need to setup a dynamic "visual index" - when a user rolls the cursor over a check box, the related text will fly-in beneath the image.

I know you can do this with text or an entire image...Is there a way to set a trigger to a portion of the image?

Thanks!

    Hi Mark,

    If i get you correct, this is what you want.

    Set a "map" on portion of the image.

    1. Select the image
    2. Right Click
    3. Choose "Insert Image Map"
    4. Use the shape you want.
    5. link/screen tip text

    Thanks! The image map does almost everything I need.

    Now, I can't seem to get the exact behavior I'm looking for.

    Here's what I need:
    Click a check box - text flies in below the dialog box image.
    Click another check box - text flies out (or fades out) and the new text flies in replacing it (same spot below the dialog image).

    Any way to do this?
