GUI for dvdauthor - image on animation

[michcio]

hi!

I'm using GUI for MuxMan to make a DVD and now I'm trying to make a menu where I got 3 elements. An animation, an image and a button (text). When I insert them into my project the button gets on the top, then the animation and the image at the bottom... how can I change it so both the button and image is on the top of the animation?

Thankfull for all answers

If you used "Insert Anim" to create the animated area for your menu, you can't add a picture on top of the animation in the usual way. The only way I know of to do it is to make the picture into a GIF and add it with the "Use GIFMask" feature in the "Specials" section of the Image Dialog window. (Left-click on the animation).

The other alternative is to add the animation to the menu using the "Menu and Background Properies" dialog window (Left-click the menu background, then select "Menu Properties). If you do that, a picture can be placed on top of the animation the same as always.

yes I have used "insert animation" but I don't need to make my picture into gif and use gifmask ... the second alternative you are talking about works just fine ... and that's exactly what I want to do

thank you very much!

cheers
