To add text links with actions
You can link the text in a movie to a web page, file, or any item that has a URL. You can also specify the mouse event
that triggers the text link to activate. For example, you can specify that whenever a viewer clicks on a text link, a
particular web page opens. You can have multiple text links in a movie.
1 In the Text tab of the Text Sample Inspector, select the text that you want to link to.
2 Click the Link icon. GoLive underlines the selected text and changes its color to blue.
3 From the Events list, select the mouse event that you want to trigger an action:
Mouse Down Triggers an action when the viewer presses the mouse button down (without releasing it) while the
pointer is on top of the text link.
Mouse Up Triggers an action when the viewer releases the mouse button while the pointer is on top of the text link.
Mouse Click Triggers an action when the viewer clicks the text link.
Mouse Enter Triggers an action when the viewer moves the mouse pointer over the text link.
Mouse Exit Triggers an action when the viewer moves the mouse pointer away from the text link.
4 Click the New Item button to attach an action to the event. A dot symbol (“•”) appears to the right of the
event to indicate that it is active.
