Greetings,

I am having problems trying to figure out how to replace the "Folder" icons in the "Site62 Book Mark" template with a different image. There are 6 folder icons to which I am referring and when clicked, they open the other pages in the site. I like the way the folders "float" and would like to keep that movement; but I would rather have a different image.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

...I'll move this to the appropriate site 62 'Bookmark" forum.

Thanks Wolf, I'll try that.

Cheers.

Greetings,

I just posted a question about the folder icons as well. I am having a difficult time figuring out how to replace the line drawings with a small .jpg or .png image. Would either of you know how this can be achieved?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

...you can do this by either creating your own shape or importing an image into "Up/Down" state of the button in the movieclip of each section of the menu, eg...(make sure that they are about the same size - 40x30 pixel)

Wolf,

Thank you so much for your expert advice...it worked exactly as I hoped it would.

I'm new to SwishMax2, but with people like you sharing your knowledge on this great forum, it really helps those of us who are not as familiar with the product.

Now I have to work on my other issue, which is when the visitor presses the "Enter" link from the preloader page, I would like it to open the main page in the same window, rather than open another instance, which opens minimized.

Thank you again!

Your advice saved me.

...can be done but you will lose the "full browser window" feature for 'mainmenu.html" - open "index.html" with "Notepad" or "WordPad" and change this...

Quote

<a href="mainmenu.html" onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'main','no','center');return false" onfocus="this.blur()">enter</a>

...to this...

Quote

<a href="mainmenu.html">enter</a>
