hyperlinks on screenshots

Postby LovelyMaryd on Wed Jul 07, 2010 4:18 pm

Hi All,

I have a screenshot of a series of steps in a process, and I want to be able to add hotspots to each of the steps so that when the user clicks that step on the main graphic they are redirected to another page containing the details behind that step. So far I have managed to to add a control with a hyperlink, but my problem is that I don't want the user to have to go to the control under the main shot, I want to him to be able to click on the area of the main screen shot and immediately be redirected to where I want him to go for more details, is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Mary

I'm afraid there is no a direct way to do this. The only possible workaround is to use HTML Snippet objects with a portion of some tricky HTML\JavaScript to create image maps, tough it's not very convenient. Sorry for this, Mary.
