rollover overlap the other causing missing part

[BillFurn]

In ImageReady CS, I have made a Navigation Bar, it is a filmstrip that kind of bends. in each frame I am trying to put a rollover image of the same type image but only a different color. So each frame you would click would be a different color.

My problem is that when I view the filmstrip navagation bar in the browser after working in ImageReady i get an overlap of the second image rollover into the first (only made two so far). Because the slice is rectangular, I can't manipulate it to not interfere with the one next to it. If I knew how to use a polygonal lasso tool to make a slice, that would seem to make life much easier. I have tried a lot of things, anything from "arrange to front", shutting off things in layers, just a lot of coming up short.

Thanks for any help, I have been at this problem for a while.

Here is the link to the file I am talking about.

If you look closely, you can spot a small section missing in the lower left hand corner of the second image.

The 'about us' slice appears as a square when loading.
I would suggest there are auto slices between that slice and its neighbours. Have you tried re-slicing the whole image?
Hope this helps

Thanks for posting. I made the colors somewhat close to transparent. I realized that in IR there are no way to make irregular slices.

You managed to get the impression of irregular slices on all but the dodgy one. How about making the frame divisions vertical but keep the wave shaped film strip. That way you can still use the film strip.

If IR came up with a polygon markee slicer, I could make the selection accurate but with the tools that are available it doesn't seem possible.

Thanks

I am new to IR but use it to create rollovers. Having spent many hours creating individual pictures - I now have a quick production method - yippee.
I always draw the layers in Photoshop, including highlight layers like in your example. I have nmanaged to get overlapping highlights just like you are doing. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the rest of your rollovers except one of them actually animates.

Sounds like your used to irregular shaped rollovers.
