In order to replace a DHTML troublesome menu I made up my mind to design the very same  
stuff with flash , despite I don´t know exactly how ;

The nav bar will have the following features :

- 6 items on the “main” menu , as the mouse rolls over one of them , it will drop down  
its respective navigation buttons ;
- as the mouse rolls out the main menu button or one of its navigations button , the dropped down  
menu in a couple of seconds is reseted to its original “neutral” position ;
- the menu items are (they´re already movie clip & instance names at a time ) by the order :

#1-mcenglish ,  
#2-mcservices ,  
#3-mcases ,  
#4-mcprof ,  
#5-mcontact ,  
#6-mcflash ;

- mcenglish will have two buttons :  
button bteng is responsible to collapse the bar , and  
btenglish , which is a navigation button will be assigned with a geturl ;

- mcservices has 8 buttons :  
btservices, btmaingoals , btsurvey , btsystan , bt const , bt homol , btimplan , btdatadm ;  
btservices causes mcservices to run down the bar ;

- mcases has 6 buttons :  
btcases , bthealth , btretail , btinsur , btindust , btarenautic ;  
btcases runs down mcases ;

- mcprof is a diferent kind of bar , this one has a “sub menu” ;  
it has 3 buttons :  
btprofes responsible to run down mcprof , btprofile , and btrobvaz which opens to the right  
the sub menu on which there are 3 more buttons : btresume, btprofexp ,btquotations ;

- mcontact has 7 buttons :  
btcontact , btoplinks, btform , btemail , btsitemap , btwebmast , btwebdes ;  
btcontact runs down mcontact ;

- mc flash , 2 buttons :  
btflash and btsiteflash ;  
bt flash runs down ;

I am feeling a bit uneasy at dealing with buttons because I realized that every time  
I assign more than one command to a button , it becames quirk and sometimes fails  
as it is clicked … and all I don´t want is to get nut with this menu ;

…  
I´ve had troubles with this action , note that even the releaseOutside has not  
assured the proper functioning :

on (release, releaseOutside) {  
gotoAndPlay (148);  
}  
on (rollOver) {  
gotoAndStop (90);  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
gotoAndPlay (92);  
}  
…

I would appreciate very much to have some help on this matter , because I honestly don´t have  
any idea on how to put together all that stuff ;

I am not quite sure whether I´ve been clear enough ;  
if I have not please take a look at the original DHTML menu @ :

you mind if i take a look at the FLA? Here’s a menu i’ve done before, the coding isn’t exactly the prettiest, but it gets the job done.
