Editing menu element properties

Select an element to display its properties in the Control Panel. For more information, see "Menu element

properties" on page 95.

Reordering menu elements

To reorder menu elements, simply drag an element to a new location in the Menu Elements window.

The first button in a set is the default button. In some cases, the default button is highlighted when a menu

is displayed during playback.

Removing menu blocks, sets, buttons, and conditions

1. Select the menu element you want to remove.

2. Click the Add button and click Remove.

Applying vertical and horizontal button navigation

DoStudio Authoring can automatically assign the remote control navigation based on the order of the

buttons in a set. You must arrange your buttons in the Menu Elements window in the same order that they

appear onscreen in order for automatic remote control assignment to work.

Apply Vertical Navigation assigns remote control commands to the up and down buttons, while Apply

Horizontal Navigation assigns remote control commands to the left and right buttons. The assignment is

based on the order of the buttons in the Menu Elements window, not on the actual visual layout of the

buttons onscreen. It is acceptable to apply both vertical and horizontal navigation to the buttons if you so

desire.

1. Select a set.

2. Click the Add button and click Apply Vertical Navigation or Apply Horizontal Navigation.

3. Click Yes to confirm the action.

For more information about remote control navigation, see "Menu element properties" on page 95.

Assigning actions to menu navigation buttons, On Show events, and On Hide

events

Select a menu navigation button (Enter Key, Up Key, Down Key, Left Key, or Right Key), On Show event, or

On Hide event. The action list for the menu element is displayed in the Control Panel.

When you have assigned actions to an element, a small red circle with a number in it appears on the

element's icon. This is a visual indicator of how many actions are assigned to an element.

For more information, see "Assigning and removing actions" on page 101.
