Having gone through the tutorial on this site and in attempting to construct this menu, I’ve come across some problems, that being I’m batteling to resolve the following:

1. Change layout to that of a Horizontal nature i.e. main menu items horizontally at the top with sub-menu’s opening directly beneath them.

2. Delete the cell spacing between the buttons.

3. Apply actionscript for OnRelease to load external .swf’s (i.e I’m trying to construct a full-flash site).

I’d be extremely grateful for any assistance. 😊

I attach .fla file for your reference and list below .xml coding.
