    I know I've done this before in an older version, but how the heck do I get the button action to highlight a different button?

    Is this right for an alternate audio button?
    Code:
    if (g1 eq 0) {audio=1; resume;} else {audio=1; button=5120;}
    I want to highlight "Play With Intro" after the commentary is selected.

    The "button=5120" part causes the DVD player or program to STOP.

    I also want to use this for the chapter menus, so the button for the same page does nothing. I.E. just re-highlights itself. But again, using "button=1024;" for the button makes the player stop!

    I've set some registers so that the next button is highlighted in the menu when you finish one video, but every time it goes back it just highlights the default. Whether I put "button=7168;" in the menu pre commands or not.

    Am I doing this wrong? I've seen instructions for highlighting "next button" here and it doesn't seem to work for me. And I've definately highlighted buttons with action before. I think I used s8=1024 then.

  2. AFAIK, button=XXXX is not intended to be used as button command. But it should work if you put it in the < pre > command section. In 'real' dvd command language, there is the 'linknolink' command, which could be used for this purpose, but as dvdauthor encapsulates the commands into a higher language, I don't know how this can be 'translated' to a dvdauthor command.
