Hey dodo,  
You absolutely can make such a menu in Flash 4. Check out the following tutorial: [www.kirupa.com/developer/dragdrop.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/dragdrop.asp)

Change the circle into the shape of the window you want. You may want to make the object the shape and size of only the top portion of the window. Insert another layer inside the Movie clip and (Right click Edit in Place) and add the rest of the window.

That way, the window won’t drag when the text or content is selected. Only the top part of the window can be dragged instead. Hope I didn’t confuse you =)
