To set a button to activate automatically
Normally, activating a button requires that the viewer first navigate to it with the remote control, and then press
Enter. You can set a button to activate automatically when the viewer simply navigates to it. The Auto Activate option
is often used for arrow buttons and for creating hidden navigation (called Easter eggs).
An advanced authoring technique uses multiple versions of a menu that change when the viewer selects certain
buttons. Instead of using subpictures to highlight a button, the buttons auto activate when selected and link to
another version of the menu. The advantage to this approach is that you can use different images to simulate button
selection. The drawback is that any video or audio playing in the background is interrupted.
In the Menus panel, select the desired menu or double-click the menu to open it in the Menu Viewer.
1
Select the button you want to auto activate. (In the Menu Viewer, use the Selection tool
2
tool, so that you select the entire button set.)
In the Properties panel, select Auto Activate to turn the option on for the selected button.
