Edit interactive button properties

Note: Changing the target, URL, or alt text for a button symbol doesn’t change existing button instances of that symbol.
  1. Open the button symbol in the symbol editing mode.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To edit a slice or hotspot in the button symbol's active area, select Active Area from the pop-up menu and then use the Pointer tool to move or reshape the slice or a slice guide. Or, use any of the slice or hotspot tools to draw a new active area.

    • To set the URL for a button symbol, select Active Area from the pop-up menu. Then enter the URL in the Link box in the Property inspector, select a page from the list, or select a URL from the URL panel.

      Note: When entering absolute URLs within a site, you can attach a URL to a symbol so that the same URL appears in the Link box in the Property inspector for each instance.
    • To set the target for a button symbol, open the button in the workspace. Then enter a target in the Target box, or select one of the following preset targets from the Target menu in the Property inspector:

      None or _self
      Loads the web page into the same frame or window as the link

      _blank
      Loads the web page into a new, unnamed browser window

      _parent
      Loads the web page into the parent frameset or window of the frame that contains the link

      _top
      Loads the web page into the full browser window, removing all frames

    • To set the alt text for a button symbol or button instance, select the button instance in the workspace. Then, in the Property inspector, enter the text or description you want to apply.
