Then you should use this:

In PageTS config, add

TCEFORM.pages.layout {
	addItems {
		4 = xxxx:xx
		5 = xx:xxxx
	}
	altLabels {
		0 = Flash+XXXXXXX
		1 = Flash+XXXX:XX
		2 = Flash+XX:XXXX
		3 = XXXXXXX
		4 = XXXX:XX
		5 = XX:XXXX
	}
}

You can also add a path to a language file if you need translations instead 
of static texts.

This adds you values to the layout field (note that the first layout field 
in the first tab is called header_layout, not layout).

Then you can use a case construct to set the CSS classes.


NO.stdWrap2.cObject = CASE {
	default = <div class="menu-item css-default">|</div>
	key = layout
	1 = <div class="menu-item css-1">|</div>
	2 = <div class="menu-item css-2">|</div>
	etc
}

That way you can define your values, save them in the page properties, but 
make then unchangeable by editors.
