Hello all:

I am designing a website where I’m trying to incorporate an interactive graphic for a shifter. Before I go any further, you can access what I have worked on so far at http://users.rcn.com/solitude439/mainframe.htm

First off I have this particular page set up in frames. I was using Adobe Photoshop with ImageReady to set up the image map so that each button on the shifter will bring up a function in the 2nd frame. Now, the secret to this is that some of the keys in the keypad require that I hit a second key (referring to web page from above, the bottom button on the shifter) in order for that function to work. Example: In order for the R (reverse) function to work, the R button followed by the bottom (Shobers) button needs to be pressed as well. Once I have it set up to where each function works, in the 2nd frame I will have an animation showing either the vehicle (or transmission) doing each referenced function.

Will this require knowledge of coding or scripting? If so, what commands can I use and is this possible to work out this sort of scripting in Photoshop or ImageReady? If not, how can I set something like this up with Flash or Dreamweaver?

Once again, if you can help and you need reference to what I’m working on, please access http://users.rcn.com/solitude439/mainframe.htm

Thanks to all in advance for any and all help.

I would have thought that the simplest way would be to have (preloaded) copies of the shift diagram which load into the left hand frame each time you press a button – each copy having a different link from the Shobers button and then reloading the original shift diagram frame. There are more sophisticated ways. For example you could probably adapt a drop-down menu script in javascript or java.
