well to save time wut u can do is go to search and type in drop down menu and ther r many sites with examples similar to that. all u have to do is download one of them and study it. i hope this helps.
well if u cant find any let me know i will send the links for them.
but that one's different... the one you linked me to you have to CLICK to open the menu and CLICK to close it! i'd like it like in the website, when where you hover over it opens, and when you move the mouse out of the actual menu, it disappears... ther'es gotta be a way to do taht.
basically you make a movie clip and on the first frame put your button. put on mouseover gotandstop frame2 on the button. on frame 2 make the menu under the button. just make sure to make the final state of the button the same size as the menu so when you put your rollout command the menu stays open until the mouse goes beyond your menu. Then put the whole movie clip on your main timeline and BAM! Dropdown menu.
that probably makes no sense.. but that's how i did it.. if you check out my site you'll see what i mean. you have to click my buttons to open but i used a rollout to close them.
Another way of approaching it would be to make each menu (with sub menus) as a movie clip, name the instance, put a basic acceleration (movement) script in the clip (smartclip) and then have invisible buttons over the area you want to have activate them.
then depending on how you programmed your little action script, have the onRollover give the clip its new coordinate (either x or y depending on the situation)
and finally have the onRollout return the clip to the initial coordinate.
dont forget to onDragOut and onDragOver, just so that the little action scripting doesnt screw up.
if you take the action from the first button and apply it to the second buttons and then remove the hit statem on the first button...maybe move the second buttons closer... or make them connected... then it will work just as well
