One way to make a button invisible is right-click on it and select Image Only.

Then replace the image with a graphic from the Buttons panel.

Then select the option to Remove Frame from the Buttons panel.

And then you have a button that no one can see. Or use. So I'm not sure what the point is ... but that's how you do it anyway.

Thank you Steve!

My assumptions are like that:
-Black screen for 1-2 sec
-the background video will began to play automatically (assuming that auto play will work properly)
-in the backgroud video, play all and scene selections button appears after 10 secs.
-those invisibe buttons will be placed just over them
-and one clicks "play all" on the background video,
the invisible "play all" button will be activated:))

I tried a little bit, I think it works!

Any better ideas?

Thanks.

OGUL,

This will work on a computer where you can position the cursor over your selection. but how will you know what you are selecting on a TV if you can't see any buttons?

Just asking, not criticizing.

People will see "play all" and "scene selection" on the background video and they will click one them thinking that they are on the right place.
But in fact, there will be hidden "real" buttons just over the where "play all" and scene selection" is written!

By this way we will able to make buttons as our taste!??

I'm still not sure if this will work but I'll try today!

Also I have find a photoshop master and ask him/her if I can obtain a jpeg or png that is "transparent".

Right click the button and select button style and then text only. Press F2 and delete the text. Then select in the Button Properties the Highlight tab and select Custom for the style. Let the loop point for the button where you want it and when that time comes the button will be useable. Now you have you invisible button.

I've done this before but have used underline as the highlight and have a video background I created in Vegas and placed the buttons on the video and in DVDA set the loop point where I wanted the underline button to apper and it worked.

Hope this helps
