Setting text options in MenuBuilder
You can set some MenuBuilder text options when you create a text item using the MenuBuilder
wizard. However, you can set more options after the text item is created.
To set text options:
1.
Open the MenuBuilder project.
2.
Double-click the text item to edit.
The Text Properties dialog box appears.
3.
Adjust text options:
■
Use the Style pop-up menu to select a text style. The listed styles are imported from the
selected template. Select Custom to create a new style.
■
Use the Font pop-up menu to select a font. Select size and style options as well.
■
In the Text box, enter the text as it should appear in the project.
■
Use the Link pop-up menu to select the type of link to activate. Click Browse to search for
other choices (you can create links to almost any type of file). Then enter the appropriate
text in the Link box. For example, if you select Web Address, enter the appropriate URL.
■
When you link to an Adobe SWF file, MenuBuilder automatically creates a link to the
related HTM file. Every SWF file requires an associated HTM file. This file contains
information that is necessary for the SWF file to play correctly. You can click Save file with
project to save the linked HTM file with the SWF file. When you export the SWF file, the
linked HTM file is also exported.
■
If you create a link to a URL or HTM file, the Advanced Settings button is active. Click this
button to set options for the browser window that contains the link.

In the Tooltip box, enter rollover tooltip text.

Click the color boxes next to Normal Color and Hover Color to select colors for each text
