Hello,

I really like this menu: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml\_dropdown\_menu2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu2.htm)

However, I would like the main menu to act like a submenu, with a movieclip (placed on stage) that acts as the ‘main menu’ trigger (which turns the sub menus on and off).

How might I go about doing this with the code? I’ve been at it for hours. I don’t want a simple gotoAndPlay frame method. I want the menus to be assembeled as soon as the mouse goes over the movieclip.

Also, is there a way to change the text color when you mouse over the items as well?

Any ideas?

Thanks
