Creating pop-up menus 207
To set advanced cell properties for the current pop-up menu:
1 With the desired pop-up menu open in the Pop-up Menu Editor, click the Advanced tab.
For information on opening an existing pop-up menu in the Pop-up Menu Editor, see
“Editing pop-up menus” on page 209.
2 Choose a width or height constraint from the Automatic/Pixels pop-up menu:
Automatic forces the cell height to conform to the text size set in the Appearance tab of the
Pop-up Menu Editor and the cell width to conform to the menu item that contains the
longest text.
Pixels allows you to enter specific measurements in pixels in the Cell Width and Cell Height
text boxes.
3 Enter a value in the Cell Padding text box to determine the distance between pop-up menu text
and the edge of the cell.
4 Enter a value in the Cell Spacing text box to set the amount of space between menu cells.
5 Enter a value in the Text Indent text box to set the amount of indention for pop-up menu text.
6 Enter a value in the Menu Delay text box to set the amount of time in milliseconds that the
menu remains visible after the pointer is moved away from it.
7 Set pop-up border properties:
Show Borders allows you to show or hide pop-up menu borders. If this option is not selected,
the following options are disabled.
Border Width sets the width of the pop-up menu border.
Border Color, Shadow, and Highlight allow you to modify the color of pop-up
menu borders.
Note: Many of these options are disabled if the Image Cell type is selected on the Appearance tab.
8 Do one of the following to complete the pop-up menu or continue building it:
■ Click Next to move to the Position tab or choose another tab to continue building the
pop-up menu.
■ Click Done to close the Pop-up Menu Editor. In the workspace, the hotspot or slice on
which you built the pop-up menu displays a blue behavior line attached to an outline of the
top level of the pop-up menu.
Note: To view a pop-up menu, press F12 to preview it in a browser. The previews in the Fireworks
workspace do not display pop-up menus.
