Settings at the Top of the Layered Button Inspector

The top of the Layered Button Inspector has three settings.

Name: By default, buttons manually added to a menu are named “Button _,” where

“_” is the button number on that menu. To reduce confusion when viewing a list of
the menu’s buttons, it is helpful to rename the buttons based on their functions.

Next to the button’s name is its number. This number is based on the order in which
the buttons are added to the menu. See

About Button Numbers

for information on

changing this number and why it can be important.

Target: You can use this pop-up menu to define a button’s action when activated. (You

can also use the Connections tab or Control-click the button.) Often you must set the
connection later because what you want to jump to has not yet been added to the
project. The pop-up menu contains all possible project elements you can jump to.

Button Tab in the Layered Button Inspector

The Button tab in the Layered Button Inspector contains settings that allow you to
customize the selected button.

Navigation: This area lets you set the actions that take place when the viewer uses the

arrow buttons on the DVD player’s remote control to navigate around the title. Because
this is the typical way the title will be viewed, it is important to spend some time
configuring the navigation in a logical, predictable way. See

Configuring Button

Navigation

for information.
