716 23. Creating Show Menus

Interactive Layers
The major difference between slide layers and menu layers is interactivity.
In the Layer Settings pane, you’ll see that you can set an Action on Click
and a Destination for each layer that you add to a menu page.

The actions you can pick are the same as those you use for captions in your
menu. You’ll find a description of each of those actions in the next section.
Just remember that a layer action is triggered when the layer is selected,
rather than a caption.

This is an excellent option to use when making graphics heavy menus. For
example, instead of using Menu Captions for navigation, you can create
navigation arrows or icons in Photoshop, and add those images as layers on
your menu pages. Set the Action on Click for each layer to control how
viewers play shows or select different menu pages.
