Menu Timeout Settings
• At End: Choose whether the menu displays indefinitely (Still) or performs a jump action
if there is no activity for a period of time (Timeout).
• Sec: Active only when At End is set to Timeout. Enter the number of seconds the menu
appears before jumping to the Action setting.
• Action: Choose the element to jump to once the timeout ends.
Background Settings
• Background: Choose the layered PSD file to use as the menu’s background.
• Show: Select the checkboxes next to each layer that you want to appear as part of the
background.
Overlay Settings
• Overlay: Choose the file to use as the menu’s overlay file. Set this only if you want to
use both overlay-based buttons and layered buttons on this menu.
• Show: Select the checkbox next to the layer you want to use as the overlay for the
menu. Unlike backgrounds where you can select multiple layers, you can only select a
single layer for use as an overlay.
