A couple of problems with links

[mosk]

1) I was able to get URL links working fine on pages within my flipbook, but NOT on the prepage.  Is there a different technique that's required to get links working either on a Prepage or on a Background for the entire FlipBook?

2) I've changed the color attribute inside of my lnk tag and that works fine.  I'm not seeing any color change when I hover over the link, however, even though I've assigned different values in my megazine file.  On hover, the link just becomes bolder and maybe gets a drop shadow applied.  I copied the code for lnk from one of the help files (either on this site or on the wiki).  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I tried both #ff0000 format and 0x990000 for hover colors, but neither gives any results.

I've pasted the relevant code from my megazine file below:  (created in Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 32bit system in case that introduces any quirks).  Thanks for helping.

1) The background / pagebackground content does indeed behave differently from pages / page content, as the background is plain ASUL, whereas the book content is not ASUL at all. Nonetheless, linking should work the same, using the url attribute - except that you cannot use the "anchors:" protocol (i.e. set internal links using "anchor:someanchor"); a workaround for that is to use the JavaScript API, doing something like this: "javascript:MegaZine.gotoAnchor('someanchor');".
Regarding linking elements in the background / pagebackground, also see http://www.megazine3.de/wiki/index.php/AbstractAsulObject#url

2) Indeed, nav@hover is bugged at the moment. Will be fixed in the next version.
