Hi-  
I built the simple drop down menu that uses the Kirupa tutorial. It works great except I want to be able to change the text color (not just the button background) on the sub menus when it’s moused over. Since it’s just a text field I can’t change the properties like a movie clip. Short of building individual buttons, is there an easier way to do this?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!  
Thanks!!
