can u : dynamic button creation

[djnick]

can someone help or tell me if i trying to achive the impossible..

I have a multi level flash design i am doing

- Menu 1
|- option 1
| option 2
|- option 2 sub menu 1
|- option 2 sub menu 2

so on clicking to get the menus i would like to know if i can create a navigation header bar which basically show the following..

menu : option 2 : option2 sub menu 1

then on clicking on menu or option 2 or option2 sub menu 1 it jump to the correct scene ..

the button can be called dynamically from variables in the buttons. i have tried to make a text field box with a variable

the problem i can see lies with having different size menu names some long some short and having it butted up to each one with a : between...

any ideas..
fla, and links welcomed

Why dont you build it as a drop down, that way you dont have to worry about the size of each button. The top level for each section would only butt up against each other. The lower sections with longer names would only appear when you first select the top area. Then just do the action scripting as you suggested. Regards, Bill
