I need some help with GoLive CS2!

hmm. AFAIK, although GoLive will let you import layered/sliced PS files, it just generates the slices for you, based on what it looked like when you saved it, and saves them all as individual images and generates a table layout to stick them together on the page. It doesn't include alternate layer info (like rollover states) and so can't cope with adding rollovers. The "smart" objects aren't really that smart - just a link to the source file and settings to tell it how to cut them up and re-generate the images when the source file is changed.

You have two options.
One is ImageReady, using the layered PS file, to build the rollover options and export all the necessary variations of the images as individual images and all the code to make it work. Although it's a pain, it's probably still the easiest way.

Otherwise, in GoLive, it's a bit more manual. You save each of the rollover states from your PS file individually using Save for Web - all slices, HTML and Images - into separate folders for each state. Then you can open the "unrolled" version of the page, click on each of the slices that you want to make rollovers and using the rollover menu, point each of the states for that slice to the same slice in the appropriate folder for that state.

It's not straightforward whichever way you choose, and the code Adobe produces by either method is clumsy, enormous and plain fugly.

There are far simpler and much cleaner ways of doing it, a million examples of which can be found on Javascript tutorial sites but they all require at least a little knowledge of HTML, although really only enough to know where to cut and paste the example code into the page and to find the bits you need to change to make it work with your images. Personally, I found it easier this way than trying to work out the mysteries of Adobe.

 

Golive

Well, I'm definitely not an expert on web development, so this post might be like financial advise from a crack head.

Golive definitely writes some shaky code and CS2 crashes more than CS did. Hopefully, the acquisition of Macromedia will create a hybrid vigor in CS3.

Tips:

Make sure you build everything in a site file or Golive will keep rewriting your code to find your Javascript library on your desktop. This makes everything look great on your computer, but like a bunch of broken links on everyone elses.

As far as Photoshop/Imageready to GoLive...I've used it to slice up a site design into tables. But I added the rollovers manually (it didn't import smart objects. Just regular image objects). I suppose you could export the site twice. Once with the images normal and another for the rollovers.

You could also try using the action palette instead of the rollover palette. Set Image URL on mouse enter and exit will create rollovers, but it is a little tedious.

That's all I've got.
