Applying Behaviors

A button without a behavior is like a light switch that is not connected to a lamp. You can flip the button all you want, but nothing changes on the page. Behaviors let your buttons move pages, play movies, or change the appearance of the PDF page.

To apply a behavior to a button:

1.	Select the button.
2.	Open the Button Options dialog box.
3.	Select the Behaviors control in the Button Options . The Behaviors section of the Button Options dialog box.
4.	Choose the mouse event that will apply the behavior : The Events menu lets you set which mouse trigger applies the behavior. Mouse Up applies the behavior when the mouse button is released after a click. Mouse Down applies the behavior as the mouse button is pressed down. Mouse Enter applies the behavior when the mouse cursor is moved over the button. Mouse Exit applies the behavior when the mouse cursor is moved away from the button. On Focus applies the behavior when the button is prompted by tabbing through the fields. On Blur applies the behavior when tabbing takes the focus off the button.
5.	Choose the behavior from the Behavior menu . (See the chart on the next two pages for a description of each of the behaviors and their settings.) The Behavior menu lets you set which behavior is applied to the button.
6.	Depending on the behavior, set any additional controls for the behavior.
7.	Click the Add button in the Behaviors panel. The event and behavior appear in the list on the left of the dialog box . The behavior list shows the events and behaviors that have been applied to the button.
8.	If desired, you can apply additional behaviors to the button.
