The use of multi-state objects (MSOs) is key for creating many of the best interactive elements in Adobe DPS publications. Folks like our own Bob Levine and Keith Gilbert have become MSO masters in their DPS work, and have shared lots of great techniques through their writing and videos. And in the lynda.com course, Adobe DPS Interactive Techniques, Keith Gilbert demonstrates the way to properly nest one multi-state object inside another.
