How to make complex exchange images in Dreamweaver

Today we are introducing a picture of 7 buttons in the Dreamweaver. And with a pointer in front of the button picture in this column, the effect we want to achieve is when we move the mouse over a button picture, the text on the button changes color. Sounds a little complicated? It's okay, just follow it.

Production principle

The principle of the swap image is a tool that is applied to the flip image (swap images) on the behavior panel in Dreamweaver. Set it to be when the mouse hovers over a picture of a button, so that the button itself realizes an exchange of the image (swapping it into a picture of yellow text), while designing the exchange of the pointer image (swapping it into the pointer picture of the current button) to achieve the above effect.

In fact, some things on the Web page seem to be very mysterious, but the root of it is just a few pictures or a few layers of simple changes.

Among them, 7 front button pictures named b1-1~b1-7,7 background button picture respectively named B2-1~b2-7, of which 7 pointer pictures are named Z1~Z7 respectively, their pointers to the first to seventh button.
