A simple rollover swaps in the state directly under the top state and involves only one slice.
Creating and attaching a simple rollover

1. Ensure that the trigger object is not on a shared layer.

2. Select Edit > Insert > Rectangular Slice or Polygon Slice to create a slice on top of the trigger object.

3. Create a new state in the States panel by clicking the New/Duplicate State button.

4. Create, paste, or import an image to use as the swap image on the new state. Position the image beneath the slice you created in step 2. Although you are in state 2, the slice is visible.

5. Select State 1 in the States panel to return to the state that has the original image.

6. Select the slice and place the pointer over the behavior handle.
