A: Using Paint Shop Pro, go to Image | Canvas Size and enter in the width and height. Q: What is a HotSpot? A: It is an area on the background image where the rollover image is placed. Once you define a HotSpot, and can define what gets launched when a user clicks on it. Q: How do I nest menus? (for version 4.0)
A: You need to make
2 projects. One is the "main" menu and the other is
the "child" menu. So
after you create both projects, edit the "main" menu
(lets say that is hotspot 1) and for the "application" enter
in "autorun.exe" After
you save, go into file explorer, and copy ALL files from the
"child" menu staging folder, and
copy it to the "1" (since its hotspot 1) folder in the
"main" menu's staging folder.
