Creating an interactive, Flash-only selector

You can choose from several styles of selectors to add to your document, as described in Defining a selector. Some selectors are more interactive than standard selectors when they are displayed in Flash Mode. These unique selectors look like standard selectors in Editable, Interactive, and Express Mode, but are formatted differently in Flash Mode and become interactive when a user hovers the cursor over them.

You can create an interactive, Flash-only, selector such as the Fish Eye Selector from scratch or by applying its style to an existing selector.

To create an interactive, Flash-only selector

Open the document in Design or Editable Mode.
On the Controls toolbar, from the Selector Control drop-down menu, choose Fish Eye Selector.
Click a location on your document in which to place the selector. You cannot place it in the Detail section of a document. The selector is displayed in its default DHTML style, as explained below. For example, the Fish Eye Selector is displayed as a Listbox in Editable, Interactive, and Express Mode.
If desired, resize the selector by clicking and dragging its handles.
Right-click the selector, and select Properties and Formatting. The Properties and Formatting dialog box opens.
From the left, choose Selector.
From the DHTML Style drop-down list, choose the style in which the selector is displayed in Editable, Interactive, and Express Mode.
Define the selector and its targets. For the steps, see Inserting a selector into a document.
Click OK to apply the changes.
To view and interact with the selector, switch to Flash Mode by selecting Flash Mode from the Home menu. If Flash Mode is not available in the View menu, you must make Flash Mode available in the document.
