adding flash rollover buttons

[monkeymeister]

what is the syntax for adding a rollover button as an image button? I have saved the button as a .swf file and put it as the ImageUrl, but since it isn't an image, do I need to save it as an image in flash rather than a button?

Cheers,

Mike

I tried using .swf's for rollover buttons as well, but I found it to be a bit of a pain to worry about the placement of the object & embed tags. If you want to use a rollover .swf button, you'll be better off surrounding the object & embed tags with a hyperlink.

If you want to add rollover states to an ImageButton using flat images, you'll need to add attributes:

ThisBtn.ImageUrl = "images/edit.gif";
ThisBtn.Attributes.Add("onmouseover","src='images/edit_f2.gif'");
ThisBtn.Attributes.Add("onmousedown","src='images/edit_f3.gif'");
ThisBtn.Attributes.Add("onmouseout","src='images/edit.gif'");
