PLEASE USE A DESKTOP OR LAPTOP COMPUTER TO INTERACT WITH THIS SAMPLE

BUTTON STATES

Anything can be a button, and the rollovers and clicks applied to that button trigger changes.

Move the Description Box Around the Screen.

Notice that there are 4 distinct states to this information box, programmed to have the functionality of a button.

  1. Static State - how it appears without any interaction. It appears slightly transparent.

  2. Over State - when the mouse is over the box, the box changes to have no transparency.

  3. Down State - when the mouse is pressed down the box colors change to represent a highlighted state. Picture using this function at a hearing. When you want to highlight a particular date box out of many, you could hold down the mouse.

  4. Release State - when the mouse is released, the shadow surrounding the box I made more intense for a short time. This is another technique used to capture and hold your audience’s attention.

These techniques can be used in any way that would help to educate, enhance retention, or improve attention. Picture using techniques such as dynamic button states to help explain the themes of your case or activate something else to happen on screen.
