LESSON 6
Overriding Default Actions
Just as you can display a timeline's chapters in the Specify Link dialog box, you can display
a menu's buttons. You have set the link for the Individual Outtakes button so that when
it is activated, the Outtakes_Indiv menu will appear, with the The Kiss button
highlighted.
6 Save the project.
Previewing the links
You can preview an unfinished project. Though you haven't set all the links and behaviors
for this project yet, you'll preview the links from the Outtakes_main menu before moving
on to link the buttons in the next menu.
Note: The Preview feature works only if a menu or timeline has been set as First Play.
1 Choose File > Preview.
2 Click the Play All Outtakes button.
All three scenes should play in sequence. Then the Outtakes_main menu should reappear,
with the Play All Outtakes button selected.
3 Click the Individual Outtakes button.
The Outtakes_Indiv menu appears. You haven't linked its buttons yet, so clicking them
has no effect.
4 Close the Project Preview window.
