installMenu

Syntax

installMenu whichCastMember 

Description

Command; installs the menu defined in the field cast member specified by whichCastMember. These custom menus appear only while the movie is playing. To remove the custom menus, use the installMenu command with no argument or with 0 as the argument. This command doesn't work with hierarchical menus.

For an explanation of how menu items are defined in a field cast member, see the menu keyword.

Avoid changing menus many times because doing so affects system resources.

In Windows, if the menu is longer than the screen, only part of the menu appears; on the Macintosh, menus longer than the screen can scroll.

Note: Menus are not available in Shockwave.

Example

This statement installs the menu defined in field cast member 37:

installMenu 37

Example

This statement installs the menu defined in the field cast member named Menubar:

installMenu member "Menubar"

Example

This statement disables menus that were installed by the installMenu command:

installMenu 0
