Hi all,

So, I’m building a flash site for my client. He wants the set of buttons to function just the same as this site ([www.boffi.com](http://www.boffi.com)).

To summarize, he wants it so that when one of the text buttons is clicked, a list of options pops down underneath it, thus pushing the other buttons below further down the page. Then, when another link is clicked, the list disappears and a new one appears under the last clicked button.

I’m no actions scripter, more a designer, so I’d really appreciate any help or advice you guys could throw.

My guess would be that I would create a movie clip for the ‘down state’ on each buttoon showing the desired movement of the list being unvelied. But how would I the effect of the ‘closing up’ part? I can’t get my head round it.

Sorry for my loose description but I don’t know how best to phrase it all.

Hope to hear from you, thanks in advance, Ian.
