Info

Select the text object 'Text' and click OK. You can now click OK to close the Show Object dialog or select an effect first. Selecting an effect in the Show Object dialog is done exactly as in the Go to Page dialog. Now click Hide in the actions field and drag it into the active field to the right of the Move Out event. The Hide Object dialog appears. It is identical to the Show Object dialog. 32
Click the Browse button next to the 'Object' field. Select the text object 'Text' and click OK. You can now click OK to close the Hide Object dialog or select an effect first. You have just programmed <strong>Mediator</strong> to show the text when the mouse pointer is moved into the rectangle, and hide it when it is moved out of the rectangle. We are just missing one thing… We do not want the text to be visible when the page first opens. 33
