Creating a drop down window that loads text

1

I am new to flash mx. i’m trying to create a window that drops down from behind an object when a button is pressed and text then loads into the window. now the window has to stay in view when other buttons are pressed( instead of having the window redrop from behind the object again). In other words new text should load into the window after the initial drop with the press of each navigational key. then once the home key is pressed the window should ascend up behind the object out of sight.

i’m good with the structure of the site(buttons, movie clips) where getting thrown off is how to code for the window to stay in place after the initial drop no matter what button is pressed first.

hope this makes sense

Please help!

Hi can you put it in more detail? I am not sure if I understand what you mean,

If I am understanding it correctly, the simple way to have the window to stay in place after the initial drop to have the border of the windows in a separate .swf so it “looks” like it stays in place…

The border of the windows is not in the same .swf as the text (and buttons in some windows), These are loaded separately on a different level…
