Menubuilder help

I'm ready to put my first project to CD or DVD. This is how I want it set up. As soon as the DVD is inserted, I want the intro to play. I have 7 separate modules for people to view. After the intro, I want my menu to appear with links to the 7 modules. After a module is clicked and watched, I want it to go back to the menu. After the final module is watched, I don't want it to go to the menu, I want it to run the credits and then go away. Can someone give me a little instruction on the best way to do all of this. Thanks.

    Rick,

    The intro is a Captivate file - swf/htm

    The intro is what I need to auto run, not the menu or any of the links on the menu.

    Hi Brock22

    Where is the intro? Is it a Captivate file or a MenuBuilder file? What format is it in? .SWF/.HTM or .EXE?

    Cheers... Rick

    Where do you select the autorun option?

    You'll have to build your items separately - intro, menu, modules, credits - in Captivate itself, except for the menu.

    Have the intro be the autorun for the CD/DVD. When you record the intro, you can direct it to load the menu file after intro is finished.

    At the end of each module, you can tell it to go back to the menu. For the final module, you can tell it to run the credits file.

    If you want them to watch ALL of the modules, you can tell each module to load the next one automatically, then the last one can load the credits.

    Hope that helps!
