Formatting Fish Eye Selectors for Flash Mode

A Fish Eye Selector is an interactive style of selector that magnifies an item when you hover the cursor over it. For more information, see Creating Fish Eye Selectors.

You can format the following aspects of a Fish Eye Selector:

  • The color of highlighted and selected items in the selector.

  • Whether the spacing, scale, and animation speed of the selector is automatically determined.

  • The scale of the items, which is how large or small the items in a selector can become.

  • The space between the items in the selector.

  • The speed of the magnification effect for items in the selector.

  • Whether the selector items are displayed as text or images.

These formatting options are applied when the Fish Eye Selector is displayed as a widget. A Fish Eye Selector always displays in Flash Mode as a widget. When it is not displayed in Flash Mode, how the selector displays is determined by how it was created:

  • If the Fish Eye Selector was created as a widget, it can be hidden or displayed as a Grid/Graph, a placeholder, or a widget. For directions and examples, see Determining how widgets are displayed.

  • If the Fish Eye Selector was created as a selector, it is displayed using the DHTML style and formatting. For information and instructions, see Defining selectors and Formatting selectors.

The widget can be displayed as an interactive widget (not as a placeholder, empty space, or a Grid/Graph) in Express Mode and Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web, which allow a preview of how these changes will affect the widget. These changes cannot be saved in Express Mode, however. For instructions for displaying the widget in various modes, see Determining how widgets are displayed.
