Fellows

How do I let a mouse over drop down a menu image over an existing movie clip?

Then let the user select an item from that menu while their selection changes color and then take them to another movie clip that appears over the background clip?

I already have my images to work with.

I did it before but cannot find my tutes.

Any help appreciated or some good tutorials on it.

I think it was CSS, onMouseOver and load/unload movie or something like that. Been a while.

Thanks  
Dave

i think you should make two frames in your movie clip  
then on one frame place the button and then place this code on the button

on(rollOver)  
{  
gotoAndStop(2);  
}

then place the other button on which your all buttons reside then place this code on this button

on(rollOut)  
{  
gotoAndPlay(1);  
}  
place first button on both the frames  
this will work somehow but see one problem you will encounter  
hope you will sove that(that is for you)

Ok. I only have two buttons for right now but when I test the movie with the recommended codes I get errors. Not saying you are wrong. Maybe I should have uploaded an example and explained with more clarity.

1. When I float the mouse over “Desk” the drop down menu on the bottom “Notator & PI3\_SNAP” should appear. It is showing up before I even float the mouse.

2. When the mouse rolls out of the menu area, the menu is not supposed to disappear until I click the mouse first.

Here is an example
