I was going to shift one of the drop down menu tutorial source files around so they worked horizontally, but after spending some time on transposing I realised that the actual submenus required space to drop out to.

I don’t know why there are these tutorials, because who’s going to design a flash web site these days where you have to create a mass space between the menu and the body area just so the menu has room to drop???

What I want to do, which 100 people probably already know how to do or want to know how is have a menu pop out horizontally on roll over and float over top of whatever’s beside it. Can somebody please help?

Just a note: I’m doing it in flash, so html tutorials won’t help me unfortunately.
