    I need to create a menu in DVD architect and I can’t seem to figure it out..

    I have a background image provided, no problem there..

    There are 7 text links going down the left side of the screen, and each one needs to be highlighted with a custom graphic behind it (just a blue bar moving from selection to selection, but provided by the client).. For each text link there is a photo that changes on the right side of the screen related to what is highlighted..

    I can’t figure out how to do this..

    I thought I would just make a PNG of the whole background/text link with blue bar/related image and just swap out the image each time the user hits up/down.. They will think the menu bar is changing, but it is really the whole picture.. but how can I go from menu to menu by hitting the up/down arrow?

    Here is a simple movie showing what I need..

    https://reels.creativecow.net/film/dvd-menu

    I need to be able to hit the up/down arrow and move the bar up/down on the text.. An image on the right changes to correspond with the title.. At any point, the user can hit ‘enter’ or ‘play’ and play that title (‘play all’ will go to a playlist of course)..

    How can I use a graphic as the bar behind the text?

    How can I change an image as the text is highlighted with the bar?
