MenuBuilder wizard – Screen 2

To access this dialog box: Open Captivate. Click Create a MenuBuilder project. Select Project wizard and click OK. Click Next.

This dialog box lets you enter the text and links that appear in the MenuBuilder project. You can also set a tooltip.

Text: Enter the text as you want it to appear in the project. You can set various options (such as font, color, size, and so on) in a subsequent dialog box.

Link: Use the pop-up menu to select the type of link to attach to the text.

Choices include Captivate Movie, Web Address, E-mail Address, FTP Address, Newsgroup Address, and Browse. In fact, you can link to almost any type of file by using the Browse button. You must enter the appropriate text, depending upon the type of link chosen. For example, If you select E-mail Address, enter the e-mail address in the Link 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 the text to use as a rollover tooltip, if you want.

New Item: Click to add a new item to the project.  

New Sub Item: Click to add a new sub-item to the project.

Remove: Select the item to remove and click Remove to delete the item from the project. A confirmation dialog box appears as a warning.

Cancel: Click to cancel changes made in this dialog box.

Back: Click to move to the previous dialog box. Changes made in the current dialog box are saved.

Next: Click to accept changes made in this dialog box and advance to the next dialog box.

Finish: Click to end the action at the current position. Changes made in this and previous dialog boxes are accepted.
