The Show/Hide option for button fields lets you do some really…interesting things.…Notice at the bottom of the page it says, Roll your mouse over a thumbnail…to see a larger image. So let's try that.…As I roll my mouse over the thumbnail, a larger version of the image appears,…same for all of these.…This is really pretty, but think of the possibilities, if you're creating an…educational file for example, you might want to show something larger, so that…they see more detail, when you're trying to teach somebody how to do something.…So there are some really neat possibilities with this.…
So let's see how this gets started.…I'm going to go to the starting version of the file and when I choose my Select…Object Tool, you can see what's in place.…There are large buttons with images in them, but they're initially hidden.…So the Show/Hide field function works this way.…You need one field to act as a trigger, you need the other field to hold…the artwork, so the trigger causes the artwork containing field to appear or disappear.…
