Use a hotspot set to Cursor In Area.

Drag interaction icon to flowline
Drag display icon to right of interaction icon
Select Hotspot in the dialog that opens
Add your rollover image to the display icon.
Position the Hotspot over your target area

Alternatively you could use a Hot Object response, set to Cursor on Object.

help with swapping images on Mouseover

Need to swap image on mouse over another image. Tried to understand a few 
examples with on mouseover but couldn't understand them. Then I tried to use 
javascript but it didn't work at all (AW don't seem to understand the code, 
especially functions). What's the best way to do this? Is there any easy and 
understandable tutorial how to do it? 
 Thanks!

lovely, it works fine, Thanks.

 Then if I want an on mouseout and connect the functionality to the new image 
(the on mouseover image). Now it swaps the image to the other one when cursor 
in area, but when I leave the area it doesn't change back to the original 
image. And it has not the functionality the original image has (return to the 
menu page when clicked). Can I do this?

Just set the response to erase before next entry.

Before we go any further, let's establish what you are trying to do.

Please correct me if I am wrong ...

You have an image on screen that the user can click to go to menu.
You want that image to change when the user rolls over it.
And the user should still be able to click on it to go to the menu.


If all this is correct, what you actually need is a Button response. You can 
create a custom button then add custom images to it.
