The cursor changes to the positioning crosshair . Set your editor window in such a way that you have the
bottom right corner in the picture (if necessary, use the scrollbars on the right−hand and bottom edges of the
editor window). Click a little ways to the upper left of the lower right corner (in the editor area) and drag the
corresponding rectangle to the lower right corner while holding the left mouse button down. Once there, release
the mouse button.
Now a rectangle is located in the lower right corner as shown in the following image.
Other fields are also placed in the picture using the same method as the HotSpot: After selecting the desired
field, the mouse marks the area in the picture which should be covered by this field.
Now click on in the toolbar to change back to editor mode. The mouse pointer assumes its original form
again. Clicking on the HotSpot now causes black squares to appear on the border which can be clicked and
dragged to change the size of the HotSpot. The cursor also changes to 'move' mode if it is placed over the
HotSpot while it is 'active'. When this is the case, you can move the HotSpot by holding down the left mouse
button and 'dragging' it.
Using these editor functions should allow you to position the HotSpot exactly in the lower right corner if it is not
already there.
Now right click on the HotSpot. Select Object Properties from the shortcut menu.
The HotSpot object dialog box appears. Switch from the Parameter tab to the Action tab. The Key Type field
contains supported functions which can be triggered when the HotSpot is touched. Select the entry 'Change
Picture' from the list.
