Ok I have this idea in my head on a page i'm designing and of course I can't figure out how to do it.

Basically I want to set up a mouseover image, but I DON'T want the mouseover image to appear in the same location.

ummm how to explain it. I'll keep a space above 6 images open. As you put the mouse over each of the six images below, I want a different image to appear in the space I leave above, or text or anything...

Anyone know of any scripts to do so, or easy command etc? All the mouseover commands I've found load the rollover image in the same locaiton

Thanks a million anyone who can help or even provide an example to help me out

That's easy as shit in Flash. Don't know if you're wanting to do it in Flash or not.

I'm trying to cut down how much flash is on the site as most eu's will be using 56k modems.

Care to elaborate a bit on it in Flash and I might try it. My brain is just fried today

Yeah, you need to read up on stylesheets. What you're asking for is really quite simple.

Identify the destination with a

tag.

LEAVE BLANK

Then you can manipulate that div using javascript.

For example, you can do:

myDiv.style='myStyle' - apply a style sheet.
myDiv.text='hello!' - replace "LEAVE BLANK" with "hello".

It's really quite simple, but you need to do some reading first.

if you move the mouse outside the rollover areas do you want the top image to return to some default or just kinda remain whatever you last had it on? (the second is easier, but not much) let me know and I can through together a demo

Ok, the flash side is easy, just create the movie, using different layers for each piece, set it up in different frames then all you have to do is create the actionscript to do what you want. No big deal actually.

The Stylesheet is also a very easy way to do it and a much more effective way to do it.

Sorry, my mind is thinking in Flash right now, since that's what I'm working on for a customer.

I know this goes against my give a man to fish/teach a man to fish policy, but sometimes you can learn by example.

/edited to add:

yes I know you can do it with stylesheets or flash... I used to use flash a lot (back around flash3 and flash4) but I got frustrated with how it always seems to render colors differently from the browser.

and stylesheets.. hmm, can you still preload images if you do it with stylesheets? I hate laggy mouseovers.

Yes you can, I always preload the images for stuff like this.

Thanks,
