menu drop down

[kiya]

Howdy,

I am working on a drop down menu and having some difficulty. The swf can be viewed at http://www.teamtki.com/portfolio/flash/nav1.html

My problem is making the sub navigation go away when the mouse isn't over it. I used the on (rollout) for each of the sub nav, but found that it occurred as soon as 'Direction' wasn't moused over. Also, I want to keep the sub nav visible when the user mouses over 'Security Services'. Currently, it start the animation over.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Look at movies, interfaces, menus - page 4 horizontal meny system. In particular look at the hit state of the menu. You will see a large hit state over the entire menu when moused over causes the mc to play and closes the menu.

a fairly solid way to do it is by having a layer under the others with an invisible button on it whose only purpose is to reset the menu on rollout. I found this on a webmonkey tutorial, which describes it better than i could. check it out:
