placing highlight bars around hotspots

Hi.

This is terribly rough and ready, but you might try something like this where you highlight ALL areas by having a hover state on the complete image, then hotspots over the items that trigger layers.

Sorry cannot spend more time on this but may help create an alternative approach.

Thanks Bruce although I'm not quite getting it. I've attached a screenshot of what I mean. What I want is a red highlight bar around the hotspots. When I add it in it seems to overlay the hotspot and make it non-functional. Is there a way of doing this without using states?

Thanks again

Pat

Hi Pat,

Could you place your red shapes behind the hotspots?

Annie

Hi Annie,

I have tried that and the highlights don't appear unfortunaltely :-(

Thanks

Pat

Do you want your highlights to be always visible or only on mouse hover?

Pat,

Just thought about it... if you want, you can use shape instead of hotspot using its Hover state and adding the same trigger.

I have made this from Bruce's story file. Tell me if that can be of any help.

Annie

Might this also work?

thanks, I think I'm getting there

I do need the highlight to appear at all times though

thanks

Pat

Like this?

If you need the highlight to appear at all time, I was able to add the shape behind the hotspot and it was showing without problems.

I have attached the file with the shape behind the hotspot.

super, thanks everyone!
