    Cool

    make a button for the main button. Now make a movie clip. Put a blank keyframe in the first frame with a stop aciton in it. Now put the sub menu buttons in the second frame. Put a stop action in the second frame.

    Now copy the top button in the movie clips second frame and paste it in the first frame. You will be using this to line the sub menu up to the main menu button. Once you have the movie clip where you want it on the main stage give it an instance name.

    Do this by double clicking on the movie clip when the dialog box opens up you will see the place to name it. then edit the movie clip and remove the button that you placed in frame one. this will hide the sub menu until it is needed.

    Now put this statement in the main menu:

    On (Roll Over)
    If (GetProperty (submenu, _currentframe )=1)
    Begin Tell Target ("submenu")
    Go to and Stop (2)
    End Tell Target
    End If
    End On

    This will check and see if the sub menu is open or not if it is it wont do anything but if it is closed it will open. You need to change the word submenu to what ever you call your movie clip. then just make your actions in the buttons in the submenu. make sure that you have the sub menu goto frame 1 when they pick something from the sub menu.
