You can embed interactive overlays in either scrollable
frames or slideshows (multi-state objects). However, you cannot
embed a multi-state object in scrollable frames or another slideshow.
- Slideshow
- You can use a number of different methods to add overlays
to a slideshow state. You can select a state and choose Paste Into.
You can align the overlay with the multi-state object, select both,
and then choose either paste the object into the selected state
or create a new state. You can also group the overlay with other
objects, align that group with yet more objects, and then create
the multi-state object.
- Scrollable frames
- Create the interactive overlay, such as an image sequence
or button. You can then either group the overlay object with other
objects in the content frame or paste the overlay into text to create
an anchored object. Then paste the content frame into the container
frame and select Pan Only in the Overlay Creator panel.
Note the following guidelines:
You can add buttons to a scrollable frame that change
states in a slideshow. When you paste the button into the content
frame, the state-based button action is removed. Select the button
again, and then re-create the action. If the button is hidden, use
the Select Content and Select Next icons in the Control bar to select
the object.
In order for a multi-state object to become an interactive
slideshow, an action must trigger one or more of the states to change.
Otherwise, only the current state is displayed in the viewer. To
make the MSO a slideshow, you can select an option such as Auto
Play in the Overlay Creator panel. Or, you can create a button with
an MSO state action. However, a button within a state does not make
the MSO interactive. If you want to use only buttons within the
MSO to change slides, create an invisible “dummy” button outside
the MSO to make it interactive.
To create a hot spot effect, combine a button with a two-state
multi-state object in which one state is blank. For example, tapping
a button can trigger an image sequence or web content overlay.
For additional examples of embedded overlays, see the “Interactive
Overlays” issue in the DPS Tips app.
