 Step6-DesigntheMenu.Each

template provides several elements, such

as buttons, drop zones (areas where you

can place video to play in the menu) and

text boxes. The Frames Cover menu

contains eight buttons, but you only need

one.

 Changetherstbuttontosay“Play

Movie”.Clickonceon“ButtonOne”to

select it, click again to edit the text. Type

in“PlayMovie”.

Step 7 - Create a Button. Now you

need to adjust the button’s properties.

Select the button by clicking on it in the

Menu viewer. The button’s properties

are displayed in the Inspector Window.

Changethebuttonnameto“PlayMovie”

(the button name is not the same as the

text that the button displays. It is impor-

tant to name the buttons in the Inspector

Window.

Finally, you must set the target of the button, which

is where it will take them when it is selected. Using the

Target drop-down menu in the Inspector Window, select

TracksandStories>[NameofTrack]>Track.

Step 8 - Edit the Menu. Because we only need one

button, the other seven can be deleted. To delete a button,

click on the button in the Menu viewer, and press Delete

on your keyboard. Do this for the remaining seven but-

tons. Menu templates usually come with one or more text

boxes. On this menu, change the main title to the name of

your movie, and either edit or delete the subtitle.

You can also set an asset to this drop zone region

in the menu. Simply drag the video clip from the

asset menu (the one with the .m2v extension) and

put it on top of the drop zone area, then release the

mouse. The picture to the right includes the video.
