Next, open the Interactive controls section (FIG. 89). This section contains three additional variables: Next Item,
Previous Item, and Activate Item.
These three controls may be used to control displayed media files in the menu. In place of NEXT, PREV, and
ACTIVATE, enter the Action IDs of the files to be controlled.
Keystrokes
By default, menus are controlled by a shared variable. In order to control a menu through a keyboard, you need to be able
to map a key to a particular action. For instance, mapping the arrow keys on a keyboard might allow users to move
through entries on a menu, or particular menu shortcuts might be mapped to a specific character key.
To map keys to an action:
1. From the Interactivity folder of the My Templates tab, drag the file keystroke.svg into the Keyboard Menu project
Workspace.
2. Open the index.svg file and click the Layers tab in the Edit Mode Workspace if it is not already selected.
3. Drag and drop the keystroke.svg file into the Layers tab (FIG. 90).
