Menu blocks

When you select a menu block in the Import Tree, the Control Panel displays the name of the menu block,

the image buffer size, and the size and position properties for the menu block. The Top and Left positions

are measured in pixels from the top left of the screen. The Width and Height boxes describe the size of the

menu block.

The Current values are for the .psd file you currently have loaded into Mosaic. If you are reimporting a ,psd

file, you will see Previous values as well. The Previous values describe the size of the menu block that is

currently in your DoStudio Authoring project. If you haven't changed the size of the menu block, the values

will be the same.

You can edit the size and position values of your menu elements at this stage if you desire; however, you

will not need to edit these values if you have laid out your menus in Photoshop to your liking. For example,

if your .psd file is 1920 x 1080 at 72 dpi, the position of all of the menu elements in Mosaic is exactly the

same as you designed them in Photoshop.

Sets

Selecting a set in the Import Tree displays the same position and size values as when you selected a menu

block. Likewise, you will see both Previous and Current values if you are reimporting a .psd file.

Buttons

When you select a button in the Import Tree, you see three tabs in the Control Panel: Properties, Actions,

and Remote Control Navigation.

The Properties tab describes the position and size values for the button. If you are reimporting a file, you

will see both Previous and Current values.

In the Actions tab, you see any actions that have been imported with the button using Mosaic Action Script.

You can select the Enter, Up, Down, Left, and Right events to see where actions have been assigned. If you

are reimporting a file with Mosaic Action Scripts, you can choose to preserve the actions you have authored

in DoStudio Authoring for that button by selecting the Use Previous option, or you can overwrite the

authoring you have performed in DoStudio Authoring by selecting the Use Current option. Selecting Use

Current will replace any actions you have authored in DoStudio Authoring with the actions that are

included in the .psd file with Mosaic Action Script.
