Hi all. I posted another message about hooking up a "play" button to the play on a remote. Now another problem:
Same project -- just a single menu, based on one of the canned backgrounds, with a single button linking to the single video event.
The problem is that when I drop anything on the menu, it isn't there when the menu is played. In the timeline, you don't see anything I've dropped on the menu (button or text). If I click "navigate into" on the menu or its single page, I see anything I've put on the page, but the moment I play the menu from the timeline, only the background plays -- the button and text is all gone.
I can't figure out what I should be doing to make them persist. Interestingly, if I press the actual "play" button in the timeline while looking at the menu with text, NOTHING happens. If I click on "Play from in point", it plays (and the background music plays), but all the text is gone.
This seems to be a clue, like somehow the inserted items are all prior to the in point, but I can't find any way around this behavior.
Other clues: Clicking on "go to in point" shows menu without the button and text. Clicking on "go to out point" shows the button and text. I tried going to in point and pasting in the button, but the moment I play or again click "go to in point" it is gone.
So what is the correct way to do this? The menu is 30 seconds long, I suppose animated somehow from the canned PNG file supplied with DVDA 3b.
