Building Spry pages visually
Last updated 3/28/2012
Note: The Spry Menu Bar widget uses DHTML layers to display sections of HTML on top of other sections. If your page
contains content created with Adobe Flash, this might cause a problem because SWF files are always displayed on top of
all other DHTML layers, so the SWF file might be displayed on top of your submenus. The workaround for this situation
is to change the parameters for the SWF file to use
wmode="transparent". You can easily do this by selecting the SWF
file in the Document window, and setting the
wmode option in the Property inspector to transparent. For more
information, see

Add or delete menus and submenus
Use the Property inspector (Window > Properties) to add or delete menu items to and from the Menu Bar widget.
Add a main menu item

3 (Optional) Rename the new menu item by changing the default text in either the Document window or the Text
box of the Property inspector.
