Hi there! i am hoping to create a interactive rollover figure where there is an outline of a skateboarder… and a person rolls over the parts of the body wehre they are wearing safety equipment. When they do this it highlights i.e helmet, elbow pads etc.

i was wondering how i would go about this? would you recommend cutting the picture up and making each a seperate button? ive tried copying like the helmet part and pasting it on top as another button but it comes out as a square and not transparent…

any ideas?

Create an invisible button.

Draw a shape, convert it to a movie clip or button. Then select it and look at the Properties window. See the dropdown menu that says Color: None? Change that none to Alpha and change the percent to 0.

Or select the movieclip/button and on it put the following code:

```auto
onClipEvent(load){
this._visible = false;}

```

or

```auto
onClipEvent(load){
this._alpha = 0;}

```

Lots of choices

You would have to make them seperate pieces that maybe color in or something when you rollover. If that is a raster graphic and not a vector drawing then you’ll have to clip it and export it as a png to preserve transparency (so you don’t get the box around it).
