I have attached the file for my dropdown menu.

If you click on item1. A whitebox appears that is the roll out area and this hides the sub. I think this is an old fashioned way to do this.

Can someone help me with a solution to creating this menu in actionscript 3.

I have searched for a tutorial but can only find an xml one which is not required for this project.

Many thanks for you help.

This looks ok but the combobox submenu only appears on click. How do I make it appear on rollover. Also how can I make the submenu’s reurn a variable?
