[font=Times New Roman][size=3]I am trying to make a flash file that will take the place of a javascript drop down menu. I need to have a slim horizontal menu bar surrounded top and bottom by the rest of the HTML webpage.[/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]The function of the flash menu would be such that when one of the buttons are moused over \> the menu would expand over the HTML images below it with more menu buttons.[/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]This is really easy to do with javascript but I want the creative freedom flash offers. Does anyone know how I can create a flash file that can expand larger than it’s original size on the webpage[/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]I have seen some really neat flash banner ads that definitely are on top of other html. Maybe I could do something like that.[/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Please let me know any ideas or resources I could use to do this.[/size][/font]
