Description
Keyword; in conjunction with the installMenu command, specifies the actual content of custom
menus. Field cast members contain menu definitions; refer to them by the cast member name
or number.
The
menu keyword is followed immediately by a colon, a space, and the name of the menu. In
subsequent lines, specify the menu items for that menu. You can set a script to execute when the
user chooses an item by placing the script after the vertical bar symbol (|). A new menu is defined
by the subsequent occurrence of the
menu keyword.
Note: Menus are not available in Shockwave.
