Description : Learn how to create simple menu.
Creating Simple Static Menu
--------------------------------------
A good menu is always a collection/group of buttons with different
actions/functions. As we demonstrated to create simple buttons, menu
items will be created the same way.
Create one button to be used as menu item and copy paste all of them. But this will be hard to change each button's caption/text. In this case just creat blank button having no text.
Now open the button and delete rectangle from its Up State. Why? Because until mouse is not over the menu, background is invisible.
Copy and Paste buttons as much you desire. Now insert simple Text object out of the buttons and place it over the buttons where needed.
Why didn't we insert the text int the button/ because It will be too hard to change each button's caption and will increase the size of the movie as well. Now when you need to change the Button's caption you will just edit the text placed over the button, and do not need to go into the buttons. Place a rectangle behind all the
menu buttons (as menu background). Group the buttons as sprite or simple Group.
