scene selection

I hope someone is up late and can help me figure this out. I made all the chapter marks (11). Then clicked on the object on the main menu and insert the scene selection menu. They have pictures in them corresponding to the appropriate chapter but when I click on it it takes me to the beginning of the project.

Can anyone tell me how to make them click to the appropriate chapter?

This is detailed well in the help system and the manual.

You have to have your movie set up with chapter points in it already (I assume it does). Then you set the target of the button to be your movie file and set the chapter you want to move onto to be the target chapter. Both of these properties show up in the button properties window. The movie will play from then on in its entirety.

If you want to make it so after the given chapter it jumps right back to the chapter selection menu, you have to duplicate your original movie inside your project and set it's in and out points so each instance of the move would only show a given chapter. In this case you would have 11 separate instances of your original movie file with different in and out points for each of them.

Again, this is all in the manual/help file. Both Vegas and DVD Arhitect has excellent help systems.
