Property Description

Playlist Name Select the playlist you want to associate with this button.

This action can be used with any other action.

Display menu actions

The following describes each of the display menu actions in detail. If the action has editable properties, a

screen shot of the Control Panel is included.

Clear Menu Blocks from Screen

The Clear Menu Blocks from Screen action removes all menu blocks from the screen so that only the video

remains. This action is often combined with a Play Chapter action so that when the viewer makes a chapter

selection, all of the menu blocks disappear from the screen to allow the video to play unobstructed.

There are no properties to edit for this action.

Do not use this action with the Show Menu Block or Toggle Menu Blocks actions.

Hide The Active Menu Block

The Hide The Active Menu Block action causes the current active menu block to disappear from the screen.

If you have assigned animation properties to the menu block's On Hide event, the animation will occur

when the action is executed.

There are no properties to edit for this action.
