How do I create multiple layers for display

[xblurone]

Hi, I am trying out the Antenna 2.1, and like the layer feature.

What I want to do is create one page with multiple layers (only about 5 - basically only different text content) that overlap eachother and only certain layers should be shown based on the link clicked, eliminating page loads between clicks

Does this make sense, and does Antenna have a control for this ?

The idea like i-frame, but then with hiding/showing layers.

Hope you can help.

Hi Xblurone,

I think this should be possible - I'm running some tests at the moment and will post back when I have a satisfactory solution.

Cool! Thanks ...eagerly waiting

Any pointer you can give me in which direction to look?

OK - I had to modify the software a little to get this to work, so step one is:

1. Download and install Antenna v2.2 from the Stormdance web site (just uploaded). Recommend you uninstall any previous version first via the Windows Control Panel.

2. To hide or show an object or layer in response to a mouse event, add the following in an object's Events tab:

• On-mouseover| %[layer_1]%.visibility='visible'
  
• On-mouseout | %[layer_1]%.visibility='hidden'

Where 'layer_1' is for a layer named 'Layer 1'. This works for objects and both standard & form layers - but not for an include layer.
Button Lab has also been enhanced in this release to give better looking buttons.
