Using Images as Links in Controls

You can use an image as a link with a control that invokes a method by using two attributes of controls called "HTML Bitmap" and "HTML Disabled Bitmap."

The "HTML Bitmap" attribute is used to set the name of the bitmap to be rendered when the control is in an enabled state (that is, the method can be invoked), and the "HTML Disabled Bitmap" is used to set the name of the bitmap to be rendered when the control is in a disabled state.

SWE will use the "HTML Bitmap"/"HTML Disabled Bitmap" attributes only when the "HTML Type" of the control/list column is set to "Link." If set to "Button," the caption property of the control is used as the button label. You can use the "HTML Bitmap"/"HTML Disabled Bitmap" properties with custom HTML types. If you use the tag <swe:this property="Data" type="Link"/> within the definition of the custom html type in the SWF file, then SWE uses the bitmaps.

If the "HTML Bitmap"/"HTML Disabled Bitmap" attributes are not set, SWE will default to using the "Caption" property for the link.

These bitmaps have to be created in Tools under the Bitmap Category "HTML Control Icons."
