multiple menus--same project

[Michael]

Hi guys.

Can someone list out the steps in using multiple menus on one project?

I am trying to display the first page that includes choices (skip Intro, go to main page, etc.) in 640 x 480 or less (much like a splash screen). And as a choice is made, go to full screen mode (project settings) for the rest of the project. I don't know of another way, except 2 menus. So, I'm not sure how to incorporate the action to get to Menu2??

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

M.

Okay. Consider this: The splash screen will have two buttons going to the same menu, one plays a video and then begins the menu AND one goes to a main content page (skipping the video intro, a few pages into the menu). Since I have read (Mark) that you can't have a menu go to a particular page in the new menu, how do I have the two choices go to separate start pages without having to double up (burn two of the same menus on the CD) since the menu is 600 megs?

Am I making sense? Can anyone help?

Thanks, M.

Hi,
Actually there is now a Command Line argument available to AutoPlay, I was previously unaware that it existed, sorry for misleading you. Basically you can pass your AUTORUN.EXE file the name of the page to start on as a command line parameter. So if I wanted to start a MENU on "PAGE 2" I would execute the menu and pass it "Page 2" in quotes, remember to only use quotes if there is a space in the page name.
I believe that this will solve your problem, if you need any more help feel free to contact me.

Mark,
this is great news! Thanks. When you say "pass",do you mean on the File Name, Arguments, or Working Directory line on the Action tab?
Now, I have %ScrDrv%\autorun.exe. So, do I add "page 2" at the end of that or where?

Thanks so much.

Okay. I couldn't wait and tried out a couple of things. On the action tab (execute program) for the object, I placed the page name on the "arguments" line....And it works great.
