yo, i was wondering if anyone knows any good tutorials to make menus where you click on one item, and then a bunch of other choices show up, and then you click it again and those choices disappear etc… thx ---

hmm well i’m not exactly sure what it’s called… it basically looks just like a list when you first see it… like this: +sports +animals +foods then you click on sports and it now looks like this: +sports hockey baseball soccer tennis +animals +foods …you can click them all at once so they’re all expanded, and then you click them again and the sub-categories go away. ---

…except the sub-headings would be indented… i guess it is a drop-down menu of sorts, i just want a plain text one like i showed above ---

ya, that’s a drop down menu. I’ve never tried to make one, but my guess is that you’d use a couple of movie clips to achieve this effect. Perhaps a movie clip within a movie clip. I think you should take a look at the tell targets on kirupa. That’s my 2 cents, hope i helped. ---

Tell targets… Kirupa should take those tutes down, they’re bad for your health 😛 Flash 5 has introduced the dot syntax, you should really use it instead of tellTargetting, ruen 🙂 ---
