720 23. Creating Show Menus

The Default Object toggle lets you choose which object on your page will
automatically be selected first when the page is loaded. You can set the
default to be any image, video or caption on a menu page.

To Set a Menu Navigation Default Object

1. In the Custom Menu window, click the Navigation tab.

2. Select a menu page from the Page List.
3. Choose an item in the Objects on Page list.

4. Toggle the checkbox to Make this object the default on this
page.

Navigation Menu Objects
When creating custom navigation, you’ll be working extensively with the
Objects on Page list. This list may include images, videos or captions. As
you add and customize pages, the objects that appear in this list may be
different for each page.

By default, Loop All, Play All, Previous, Next and any Show Thumbnails
added to page will appear in this list. The reason they appear here, is
because they all have something in common –Interactivity.

Any object that you add to a menu page can be used for menu navigation.
However, they won’t appear in the Objects on Page list until you assign an
action to that object, such as Jump to a Menu Page or Play a Show. As you
read earlier in this chapter, interactive options can be found by clicking the
Layers and Captions tabs.

The Objects on Page list is also a little different from other lists in ProShow.
For one thing, you can’t add or remove items from this list. This list
populates automatically, showing only the visible page objects that feature
interactivity.
