To make a copy of a button

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

the Button Inspector.
