When you create a link to an attachment from a topic frame, an icon is added to the link by default; however, you can change the link icon at any time. This icon appears in the frame bubble when a user views the topic in the Player, indicating that additional information is available. Users can then click the icon to launch the linked material. By standardizing your use of link icons, you can provide your users with a consistent visual cue as to the type of information available through each link. You can also add a tooltip for each link to provide a brief text description of the linked attachment. 


The Developer comes with a standard set of link icons. You can also create your own custom icons, if desired.


To change the icon of a frame link:

  1. Display the Frame Link toolpane, if necessary.
     
  2. Select the row listing the link to which you want to change the icon.
     
  3. In the icon column, click the down arrow to display the list of available icons.
     
  4. Select the desired icon.
