Hey,

I have an array for my menu and submenus.  
It works fine, but I have to click again on the menu to close it.When it’s open it’s completly open it takes too much space. Can anyone help me on how I could make a menu close when I click on another menu item…this is the code on the frame on my main timeline:

MenuArray=new array();  
MenuArray[1]=menu1;  
MenuArray[2]=menu2;  
MenuArray[3]=menu3;  
MenuArray[4]=menu4;  
MenuArray[5]=menu5;  
MenuArray[6]=menu6;

offset=new array();  
offset[1]=menu1.\_height;  
offset[2]=menu2.\_height;  
offset[3]=menu3.\_height;  
offset[4]=menu4.\_height;  
offset[5]=menu5.\_height;  
offset[6]=menu6.\_height;

function up(MenuNum) {  
var MenuOff=offset[MenuNum]-10;  
MenuNum++;  
for(i=MenuNum; i\<=6; i++){  
MenuArray\*.\_y-=MenuOff;  
}  
}  
function down(MenuNum) {  
var MenuOff=offset[MenuNum]-10;  
MenuNum++;  
for(i=MenuNum; i\<=6; i++){  
MenuArray\*.\_y+=MenuOff;  
}  
}

These are the 2 events to call the function(for each menu item):

on (release) {  
\_parent.up(1);  
gotoAndStop (“up”);  
}

on (release) {  
\_parent.down(1);  
gotoAndStop (“down”);

}

P.S. I tried the suggestions but nope!!!  
thanks.
