Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 282)

DVD Studio Pro includes three methods for setting button navigation:
• Dragging: In the Menu Editor, you can Command-Option-drag the resize handle on
each button’s edge to the button it should navigate to.
• Manually: You can manually set each button’s navigation using the Navigation section
in the Button Inspector’s Advanced tab.
• Auto Assign: You can use the Auto Assign feature in the Menu Editor. This sets the
navigation for all buttons on the menu at the same time.
• Continuous Auto Assign: You can use the Continuous Auto Assign feature in the Menu
Editor. This sets the navigation for all buttons each time you add a new button or
reposition an existing button. This feature is activated when you first open
DVD Studio Pro. See
Setting Button Navigation with Continuous Auto Assign for more
information.
In general, if you are manually setting button navigation or modifying automatic button
navigation, you should wait until all buttons have been added to the menu, ensuring
that all possibilities are taken into account. It is also helpful to name each button before
setting the navigation so that you can easily distinguish them from each other.
Setting Button Navigation Manually by Dragging in the Menu Editor
You can set button navigation in the Menu Editor by dragging a button’s edge to the
button that it should navigate to. Each edge of a button corresponds to an arrow button
on a remote control. For example, dragging the right edge of a button determines what
will happen when you press the Right Arrow button.
To set button navigation by dragging button edges
1 Select the button whose navigation you want to set.
The active area rectangle appears around it.
2 Hold down the Option and Command keys and click the resize handle on the edge you
want to set. For example, click the right edge to set the right-arrow jump for the button.
3 Drag from the resize handle to the button you want to link to. A line appears to indicate
which edge you started at.
4 As you drag, the line’s color changes from white to green once you reach a button’s active
area. When the line is green, release the mouse button to make the connection.
Once the connection is made, the line disappears.
