can anyone help me make this button?

[jdubz]

hi, i'm trying to figure out how to make this type of drop down button that is like the one found in the site below.

http://www.bombardier.com/index.jsp

first, enter the site, then at the the top of this page you will see the phrase "CARE BUSINESS" when you rollover this, it does a drop down that then provides another rollover action... which then allows many rollovers with then more button action... how was this done? am i making any sense?

it's almost as if there's a button within a button... it's kind of like being able to do a menu bar drop down. any tutorials on this? i'm using flash mx.
thanks in advance...

bill, if you're still out there...

how do i go in and customize this file? i'm at a loss... do i do it in wrrd pad? sorry for being an idiot.

if you didnt do so then download the zip file...that has an example...uses xml so you can edit that in notepad

for the rest there are help files and by changing the component parameters you set the colors. alpha etc.


it does take a while sometimes to get the feel for these components so dont panic.


also visit the authors page ...url is on the component page


i think he has further examples there.
