Assignment #11 - Creating Links


The goal is to create a web link from The Web Site button on the Special Features menu and then link DVD-ROM content from the Teachers' Guide button.

1. Copy the ASSIGN11_Links folder from the network to the user folder>M133 on your hard drive.

2. Start a new DVD project and bring in the three menus from the Links folder: specialfeaturesflat.psd, weblinkpageflat.psd, teacherpageflat.psd.

3. Create the first menu with the Specialfeaturesflat.psd and set the overlay layer, draw the buttons and set colors on all the button areas.

4. Create menus out of the other two files.

5. Link the The Web Site button to the weblinkpageflat.psd menu.

6. Set the weblinkpageflat.psd to link to my web site: http://www.bethcataldo.com.

7. Set a transition between the The Web Site button and the web link menu.

8. Set up the web link menu to return to the Special Features menu after 5 seconds.

9. Simulate to see if this works.
