Hello Chotani,

You can use the Skins editor to create a menu system. To add this

1. Choose Project > Skins...
2. Click the menu tab
3. Enter the name of your root menu
4. Add some sub menus

You can change the Skin menu settings by clicking the Settings... button

Now when you preview you should see the root menu located by default in the top left hand corner of your Captivate project.

if you want something more snazzy and you are comfortable using Flash then you could always create a custom menu using either Flash or Flash Professional.

Regards,
Mark

Hi CHOTAN I and welcome to our community

In addition to what my fellow Adobe Community Expert Mark has suggested, you should know that if you choose to follow this route, you need to plan carefully before creating your menu. This is because aside from changing where the menu will appear, you will have no ability to rearrange the list of Menu items after you create it. For example, if you created a menu that looked like this:

Menu Item B
Menu Item D
Menu Item F

And later decide to add a Menu Item A, you would logically want that item to be listed first, before Menu Item B, no? But in order to do this, you would need to DELETE all your menu items, insert Menu Item A and proceed accordingly.

Cheers... Rick
