Show Hide


The Show Hide action lets you show or hide the content of a floating box in the browser's document window. You can show or hide objects dynamically by inserting two keyframes in the TimeLine Editor (see Animating floating boxes, for instructions) and adding Show Hide actions to the time track of the floating box.

To set up a Show Hide action in the TimeLine Editor:

1 Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the Actions Track of the TimeLine Editor to insert an action marker.

2 Choose Show Hide from the Multimedia submenu of the Action menu in the Action Inspector.

3 In the Floating box menu, choose the floating box you want to assign the action to. The floating boxes in the current page are named layer, layer 1, layer 2, and so on, unless you have renamed them in the Floating Box Inspector (see Setting up floating boxes).

4 In the Mode menu, choose what should happen to the floating box:
  • Hide hides the floating box until a complementary Show action is executed.
  • Show uncovers the floating box until a complementary Hide action is executed.
  • Toggle shows or hides the floating box, depending on its current visibility status.

    • 5 Create another keyframe and a complementary Show Hide action in the TimeLine Editor.

    6 Preview the action in a 4.0 browser.
