To make a copy of a button
1 Select the button to be copied in the Menu Editor.
2 Hold down the Option key, then drag the button’s copy to its new location.
The copy is automatically given the same name as the original, with a number added to
distinguish it. The copy has all the same properties as the original, including its Target
and navigation settings.
Setting a Button’s Connection
The main purpose of a button is to provide a way for the viewer to jump to a new disc
location. For this to work, you must assign an element from your project as the button’s
connection.
There are several ways to set a button’s connection:
• Using the Target setting in the Button Inspector
• Using the shortcut menu that appears when you Control-click a button
• Using the Connections tab. See Establishing Connections for more information.
In some cases, when using the dragging methods to add assets to a menu and selecting
options from the Drop Palette, the connection is automatically set. See Dragging Assets
to the Menu Editor for more information.
You can see a button’s current connection by placing the pointer over it and reading the
tooltip that appears.
To set a button’s connection in the Button Inspector
1 Select the button whose connection you want to set.
2 Choose the element to connect to from the Target pop-up menu in the top section of
the Button Inspector.
