I usually struggle to make dropdown menus in Flash so I just made a class that takes care of it for me. For the sake of not having to retype this, I’m just posting what I posted on my blog:

The PullOutMenu class creates a menu like the classic dropdown menu with the options to direct it up, down, left, or right depending on values set. You also have the ability to set optional parameters like the menu open speed, close speed, the easing function to use for the menu opening, and the event on which the menu showing appears (i.e. rollover, release, press).
