Hi I am having trouble getting a drop down menu working by using the tutorial on this website. Anyway, I was thinking of simply loading an external movie each time the user clicks on a menu button to do the drop down and somehow unloading the movie when the user’s mouse wanders outside the dropdown. Is this possible/feasible/easy-to-do?

Has anyone done anything like this before??

When you load an external movie on a certain level, I think you dont have to unload it. All you have to do is load another external movie on that same level.

My 50 cents 🙂
