ive been looking everywhere trying to find out how to make a menu like the one here:
http://www.scriptocean.com/poptemplate2.html

but i cant find any tutorials that work the way that one does, and i need one like that one for what im doing with my site atm.

if someone one would take the time to write a tutorial for me, or even just post the .fla file to it (if you dont wanna make a tutorial) it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hey, there, Spikez:

I can’t quite remember where the tutorial for this is, but this is what I do for any of my drop-down menus:

First, you make whatever you’re using as your button, a movieclip. Then, on that movieclip, apply this code:

 
// check to see if the mouse is over the menu every time a new frame is entered
// (at the current frame rate that is 12 times a second)
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// if the mouse IS over the menu ...
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
// if the menu is NOT fully open
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
// go to the next frame of the menu opening sequence
nextFrame();
}
// if the mouse is NOT over the menu
} else {
// if the menu is NOT fully closed
if (this._currentframe>1) {
// play the previous frame of the menu opening sequence
prevFrame();
}
}
}

Then, when you edit the movieclip, whatever you make occur in the movieclip will be what happens as a drop-down (or whatever). For example, in your case, when you double-click the movieclip, just make one frame, with a menu, and a series of buttons, then put a stop action on that first frame. That’s it! Hope this helped. Let me know!
