[COLOR=#003366]Hi guys![/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#003366][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#003366]Well I just did the following tutorial on Kirupa:[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#003366][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#003366][http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml\_dropdown\_menu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu.htm)[/COLOR]

And off course… it works! I made it horizontal… and added some color to it… There’s some tweaking I want to do though… so I guess I need some help…

Problem 1:  
I tried to get the ‘submenu’ in a different color (via another mc or something) but I can’t seem to get it done… Anyone have some suggestions?

And problem 2:  
I also want to get the submenu to be ‘centered’… so that if I add a submenu to the last button… it won’t go outside of the frame…

hope u guys get it and somebody has a solution or suggestion how to fix this! Thnx in advance!

Grtz Erwin

… I just need to get the rollout fixed and the submenu to do the same rollover as the topmenu :puzzle:
