When it says Click OK. When you apply Show Layer Genie for the first time a message box will pop up saying that a file called dmxLayerGenie-sc.js was copied to your folder.
I dont get that what am i doing wrong

The first time Layer Genie is applied to your page, that message indeed informs you that a file called dmxLayerGenie-sc.js was copied to your document directory. That's what should happen.

So what exactly is your question? Didn't that file get copied to your document folder?

Do your other images have unique names?
Because Layer Genie can only find uniquely named images on pages.

You can give names to images using the Properties panel.

I give the layers unique names in properties box cause i have added text, now if i add an image it works but i am not using an image only text so when i get to that part of the drop down i cant get any image except the image "genie"

where is this unique name suppose to go

I'm not sure I understand you correctly.
Are you trying to anchor a layer to images? Or to text links?

If you're trying to anchor to images, your images need to have unique names which you can specify through the Properties panel when you have an image selected.

If you're trying to anchor to text links, you will have to go into Source View and edit the code manually, so that the links look like:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
&lt;a href="(yourURL)" name="(a unique name)"&gt;some text&lt;/a&gt;
</font id=code></pre id=code>

Hope this helps.

sorry about this what it is im doing everything as the topic says eg im not adding an image im adding a table to the context when it says add unique names im adding to the properties box, but when i get to the tutorial and it says anchor object of type and i go to image i only get the image which is the genie showing not the 3 layers which i named, in the properties box so where the tutorial says repeat steps 5-8 i can't cause the only anchor object image is genie, so when i put my mouse over the genie all the boxes come up, am i adding the unique name in the wrong place

Which tutorial are you trying to do?

how to create a flyout menu

Your following the steps in the tutorial 'Flyout menu with sub-menus', where the Genie shows a flyout menu and then the options in the flyout menus show other menus?

If so, I think I understand what's going wrong: the steps in that tutorial are not correct. I don't know how this happened, but we'll change this as soon as we can. For now, I will try to explain the steps here.

To begin:
<ul>
<li>Insert an image in your page and make sure it has a name, eg. 'Genie" like you already have</li>
<li>Create the 3 layers that will become flyout menus. Make sure to give them unique ID's through the Properties panel</li>
<li>Insert content in the layers and make sure to add some links in the first level menu to be able to trigger the next menu levels</li>
<li>Go into Source View and find the links in the layers. Edit the code for the links so that they look like: &lt;a href="javascript:;" name="(some unique name)"&gt;text&lt;/a&gt;</li>
</ul>
To create the first flyout menu level:
<ul>
<li>Go into Design View, select the image and select 'Show Layer Genie' from the Behavior panel</li>
<li>In the dropdown at the top f the dialogue, select the layer that will serve as the 1st menu level</li>
<li>In Anchor Object of Type select type 'image' and select the image named 'Genie' from the dropdown</li>
<li>Specify an offset from the image for the layer</li>
<li>Complete the dialogue for other options and click OK</li>
<li>In the events list in the Behavior panel, make sure you select the (onMouseover) event (watch the parenthesis)</li>
</ul>
And now the second menu level:
<ul>
<li>Select one of the links in the first level menu layer</li>
<li>Select 'Show Layer Genie' from the Behavior panel</li>
<li>In the dropdown at the top f the dialogue, select one of the layers that will serve as the 2nd menu level</li>
<li>In Anchor Object of Type select 'a layer' and select the appropriate 1st level menu layer from the dropdown </li>
<li>Specify an offset from the anchor layer for this menu layer</li>
<li>Complete the dialogue for other options and click OK</li>
<li>In the events list in the Behavior panel, make sure you select the onMouseover event</li>
</ul>
To finish the tutorial page:
<ul>
<li>Repeat the last steps for the other second menu level.</li>
<li>Make sure all the visibility for all the menu layers is initially set to 'hidden'.</li>
<li>Preview the page</li>
</ul>

I hope this helps. Please post back here if you have any other questions. I will try to help the best I can.
