Hello all-

I have some buttons over video content in my DVD project.  During the movie,
buttons pop up to prompt you for an "insider tip".  Pressing Enter on the
remote when you see the button during the movie takes you to a tip in
another section of the track.

I have 5 tips for 5 chapters.  Each one of the buttons that appears over
video is on a separate subtitle track, which correspond to the chapter
numbers (the button for chapter 1 appears in subtitle 1).  After viewing tip
1, it turns on subtitle 2 and then returns you to where you jumped, only
this time you don't see the button.

So far this works fine, but if the user starts skipping between chapters,
how do I enable new subtitles?  Can I assign scripts on chapter markers to
enable different subtitles?  Or, if I put end jump scripts on every chapter,
will it still execute if the user hits the next track button on their
remote?
