Today we are doing some roll over stuff. This is actually pretty fun... this is basically what you see when you roll over something with the mouse and it changes the color or the form or whatever. It is usually used in buttons for menus and stuff like that, and today we are learned how to create them ourselves :D.

So basically everything is just pictures appearing and disappearing, just like I learned in C#, but I found this method a little bit more useful, we created a button in fireworks, add the text you want, and then you use a tool to convert it into a button, that way you can just add as much buttons as you like and just change the text, then you double click it and it lets you change the image to whatever if something happens, so for example you can change the images if you click a button, or if you let it go.... after the editing part, you just export it and import it into Dreamweaver.

Today we also learned how to do photo albums....they are really easy to make, basically a program does it all for you, you just selct the pictures and the titles and the program make the code for you :P... really useful
