I love Senocular’s XML-Driven Drop-Down Tutorial. But I can’t seem to get it to make the menu headers look different from the submenus.

Any help?

[See the tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu.htm)

Much appreciated.

(and if anyone is interested, i’ve turned it into a horizonal menu… reply and i’ll post the code. better yet, help me fix the GUI issue and i’ll post it 😏 )
