Text properties dialog box – MenuBuilder

To access this dialog box: Create a MenuBuilder project. In the Preview window, double-click on the text you want to set options for. You can also right-click on the text and select Properties.

This dialog box lets you set many options for text in MenuBuilder.

Style: Select the style you want from the pop-up menu. The listed styles are imported from the selected template. Click Custom to create a new style.

Font: Select the font you want from the pop-up menu. Choose size and style options as well.

Text: This text box contains the text as it appears in the project. You can edit this text.

Link: This text box contains the defined link (to a web address, for example). Select the type of link to activate from the pop-up menu. You can create links to almost any type of file. Click Browse to search for other choices. Then enter the appropriate text in the Link text box. For example, if you select Web Address, enter the appropriate URL in this text box.

Save file with project: When you link to a Captivate SWF file, MenuBuilder automatically creates a link to the related HTM file. Every Captivate SWF file requires an associated HTM file. This file contains information that is necessary for the Captivate SWF file to play correctly. Select this option to save the linked HTM file with the Captivate SWF file. When you export the SWF file, the linked HTM file is also exported.

Advanced Settings: Click to open the Advanced Settings dialog box. This dialog box lets you set various viewing options for the linked file. For example, you can choose whether to open a new window and set window size and position. (This button is active only if you link to a URL or HTM file.)

Tooltip: Enter rollover tooltip text, if you want.

Normal Color: This option refers to the normal color of the text. Click the color box to open the Color dialog box and select a new color.

Hover Color: This option refers to the hover color of the text. This is the color that appears when the user "rolls over" the text. Click the color box to open the Color dialog box and select a new color.
