Text; Outlines; Menu action rect; Item action rects; Rolloff action rect

To Start off lets make the the Item menu buttons. Create a box the same size as the Blue menu box. Lets make this one yellow. So it needs to be w:108 x h:18. (6 grid boxes across and 2 down). Set this Right next to the Menu MC. With Snap to on this will snap to its place. Now we need to convert it to a symbol. Convert it to a Button and name it: 'Popup Item Menu'. Make the button change color when the user Rolls over it. Now Copy and Paste about 4 more of these under the first one. Lock this layer for now.

Select the Rectangle tool and for the Fill select 'No Fill' and for the Outline select 'black'. Now use the tool to draw an out line over each of the new Item menus. We need to do one more thing to the 'Outlines' layer. Select the arrow (pyramid) thing we made and rotate it about 45 degrees counter-clock wise (left to right).

Now On to the Titles of each New Menu Item. Go to and unlock (if locked) the 'Text' layer. Using the Text Tool create a Title for Each item button. (i.e Item 1; Item 2; Item 3; ect...)

Ok.. Now we can add some more actionscript. This action script will on each Item button. For an example Select Item Button 2. and place a GetUrl (or GotoUrl) action on it.

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.hosehead78.com/");
}

Our next thing is the 'Rolloff action rect' layer. If this layer is locked, unlock it. and select it. What this layer is going to do is act like a reset button. So when you Roll off of the Item buttons the MC will reset to its normal state. This button needs to be over sized, So, it is bigger than what our Item buttons extend to. So create select the rectangle tool. For the Fill use a 'light blue' color (or any light color) and for the Outline use 'No Fill'. And create a box that is greater in size than the Menu and its Menu Items are.

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
