rollover question

I am trying to figure out the best way to make this rollover happen. the
flowers on the left should each darken when rolled over. Since this creeps
into the masthead, I assume the best way to do this would be to swap the
masthead. The masthead is 14KB. Does that seem too download heavy? I am
not a good gauge of that.

I am also considering doing the masthead in Flash, the rest in HTML. Any
suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Libbi

I would slice that image roughly this way -

I would reassemble the slices in a table at the top of the page. Your table
can be 3 rows by 3 columns, with the top and bottom row merged (see, if you
know how to do it, it's OK!).

Now create 5 more separate instances of slice 3, one for each remaining
daisy in the darkened state. Apply hotspots to the image for each daisy,
and have each hotspot swap the image to the proper daisy down-state. If you
really wanted to get cool you could figure out how to use smaller images for
the graphics of the masthead and fill in the white color with cell
backgrounds, but I'll leave that up to you!

This should be a good trial for you then. It's easy peasy. 8)

You could make it Flash, but I would export it out as a Flash 5 or 6 file. The
other option is to build this section in Fireworks with all rollobver
functionality, then import the Fireworks HTML into the Dreamweaver document.

I would never build a navigation element out of Flash.
