buttons

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can help a new DVDA user. I would like to get my buttons to animate and/or play audio when the cursor rolls over them (without linking through to media or another page). Any ideas on the best way to go about this?

Cheers

Mike

SD-DVD does not allow this (without going to another page).

thanks- any suggestions for a work-around or know of a program that does allow it?

There are no programs that can do it because for SD-DVD this is not possible.

The workaround is to do something like "Switched Menus" -- where going to a button will auto-activate to send you to another menu (that has the sound or animation you want). These types of menus can have a slight "delay" during the menu change.

The other technique is "Inverse Selection" -- but that requires planning for certain solid background colors where the buttons are. I think if you search this forum, you can find explanations and/or samples for both of these techniques (regarding the button animation). The button SOUND does not work with Inverse Selection.
