The Toolbar


 

New Project:

Creates a new project. If you are already working on a project it will keep the current one in memory and take you to step 1.

Open Project :

Opens an existing button project file .1cmt file

When you build a menu applet or flash file, 1 Cool Menu FX Tool saves a copy of the .1cmt file to a *.bak file in the build folder as a backup. If you accidentally delete or misplace a .1cmt file, you will have a backup of the file made when you last built the applet. Simply rename the *.bak to a *.1cmt file and you will be able to open it in 1 Cool Menu FX Tool.

Save Project:

Saves the current button project as a .1cmt file

A .1cmt file. is a proprietary file-format which describes your button project, it is not the applet or flash file itself. To turn your button project into a Java applet or Flash file (that can run over the Internet) you must first build your project, then upload it to your web server.

Cut, Copy and Paste:

Allows you to cut, copy and paste buttons or groups of buttons.

Note: You can copy and paste buttons between open projects.

Selective Copy and Paste:

Selective Copy and Paste is a powerful tool which enables you to copy various attributes from one button to another individual button or group of buttons. It allows you to copy all states or just a selected button state attribute to any selected button(s).

1. Select the button source

2. Select the attributes you wish to copy
