Rollover
The "Rollover" Behavior
What it does
Attach this behavior to a sprite that you want to act as a rollover
sprite, ie, when the mouse enters this sprite, a window appears, (as
long as the mouse is not down on mouseEnter and the window to be opened
is instantiated) and when the mouse leaves this sprite, the window disappears.
You will be prompted for the name of the window you want to open when
you drop this behavior on a sprite.
This behavior will not work right if the window you open is modal.
You can see this used in the demo that comes with WFS in scene 7
if you mouseover the triangle and then menu1>menu1,2. That example
shows a relatively improbable use of the "Rollover" behavior:
the words "rollover1" and "rollover2" are menu items
that open rollover windows. Usually you'd use the "Rollover"
behavior not on a menu item but a window element.
What to attach it to
Attach this to the sprite you want to open the window on mouseEnter
and close the window on mouseLeave.
Usage Notes
If you write and attach other behaviors to a sprite to which you've
attached the "Rollover" behavior that, for instance, change
the image or highlight the text , then the mouseEnter behavior should
have the following form to be consistent with the Rollover behavior.
This behavior has two mouse events: mouseEnter and mouseLeave. The mouseLeave
handler closes the window unconditionally.
on mouseEnter
me
if the mouseDown
= FALSE then
--INSERT

end if
end mouseEnter
The Parameter Dialog Box
When you drag and drop a copy of the "Rollover" behavior
on a sprite, the following dialog box opens.
You specify the name of the window you want to open.
