  • Convert text only scene selection to multi page menu with thumbnails?

    Posted by Paul Gregory on October 31, 2006 at 5:10 am

    I have completed a project which had a scene selection menu made up of 30 text only links all of which are displayed on one page. Is there any easy way to change the scene selections to thumbnails over several pages without having to start the entire project all over again?

    Thanks in advance

    Add pages, cut and paste the text buttons, then change them via Button Properties>Media>Button Style> Text and Image.

    I think that I did correctly as you suggested but things didn’t turn out exactly as hoped for. On the scene selection menu I selected open a new page & then on the original menu I cut the links that I wanted & pasted them onto the new page. On this new page I selected all the text links & changed the button to both text & thumbnail.

    What I got saw had each button covered with a mask that covered both the thumbnail space as well as the text itself. The text was above the thumbnail space not below as it usually is. When you go to change the size of the thumbnails you can’t just select the thumbnail as the text is also selected at the same time. I can change the text but can’t select the thumbnail to resize it etc. I can change the thumbnail to animated but not allowed to define a new starting position for the thumbnail. Where did I go wrong?

    Thanks in advance

    Use the sizing tool instead of the selection tool.
