first, let go of that shift key 😉

then make each item in the menu a button and give it this code:

```auto
on (release, releaseOutside) {
getURL("http://urlgoeshere.com", "_blank");
}

```

just change “[http://urlgoeshere.com](http://urlgoeshere.com)” to whatever you want it to go to.

Perhaps he means to make it dynamic? If that’s the case, you’ll want to make each item on the drop down menu a dynamic text field, that loads HTML from a .txt file somewhere… you can probable add some AS to change the number of menu items there are, based on the number of entries there are in the .txt file… search the tutorials on Kirupa’s site… if you wanted to just do the above method, then ignore this post… :beam:
