Table Of Contents
Most buttons are Soft Groups, that is when you select, move or resize a button you are in fact performing
these operations on two copies of the button, one called the 'MouseOff' version and another
'MouseOver' version.
Some of the more complex panel objects in the Designs Gallery
are Soft Groups. This is so that you can move it around as a single object, but the component parts, the
photos, background shapes, are all exported into the HTML as separate items for maximum efficiency.
Synchronized Text
There is another useful feature of Soft Groups. If you have the same text on two or more objects within
a Soft Group, the text will be synchronized when you edit it. This is the mechanism used to keep the
button text the same on both the normal and MouseOver buttons - see below.
Anchored Groups
When you make an object anchored to text, it gets put inside an Anchored Group. See Anchored
Graphics
for more information on anchored objects.
Repeating Groups
When you make an object repeating, it is placed inside a Repeating Group. See the Repeating Objects
section of the Object Handling chapter for details.
