Shadowz,

"RW_swapImgRestore()" is a javascript function that will restore the original image when the mouse is moved off the image.

"RW_swapImage('Menu1','','/gfx/main/MenuOn.gif',1)" is a javascript function that will change the image when the mouse is positioned over it. Everything inside the parens are parameter being passed to the RW_swapImage function, including the name and location of the image Without seeing the functions themselves, I'm not totally sure what the other parameters are.

Hope this helps.

Shadowz,

I believe the following would work as a simple example. It does not use the parameters since it is simply changing one picture to another and back using the mouseovers. The use of parameters all depends on exactly what you want to do and how you want to do it. For a more complicated example using a parameter to control multiple pictures (and sounds) you can check out one of the pages on my site at

function changePic(){
document.image1.src="http://WWW.GEOCITIES.COM/MEMBERNAME/new.gif";
}
function revertPic(){
document.image1.src="http://WWW.GEOCITIES.COM/MEMBERNAME/on.gif";
}
