The Image Button component

This component is not supported for AMPHTML ads, video ads, or image ads.

The Image Button component is a button with three visual states:

Up Image - the default image when the user isn't interacting with the button
Over Image - the image when the user's cursor is hovering over the button
Down Image - the image when the user clicks the button

This lets you create a visually reactive button simply by specifying three images.

To use the Image Button component in your project:

Open the Components panel, then the Interaction folder.
Drag the Image Button component to the stage.
In the Image Button properties section of the Properties panel, enter the URLs for Up Image, Over Image, and Down Image. If the image source file is local, click the Browse button in the field to select the image from your computer file system.
