i am trying to create a new meu to replace a bunch of drop downs.
see this picture for clarification:the premise is that the user can click a main option, then the sub menu will reveal, then select a sub option, and the option menu will hide , except for the item selected.
it will submit all selected options at the end for a search.thanks,

#1 make an XML file with the menu items and subitems. to each give a label attribute [the button label].
#2 use the XML object in Flash and the onLoad event ot retrieve and parse the XML file.
#3 the parsing will consist of two for loops [categories and subcategories]. Create an empty category holder, within it attach a category MC and make an empty subCategory holder. Fill this last one with the subcategories MC's. setMask().
#4 make an showHide(status) that will close/open the category if status=true/false.
This function should always target the next category below (i+1) and update it's _y.

sorry to be a pain in the ass...
but:
i have to work with an existing .ASP database, so XML may not work.also- i cannot use any flash, that is a rule of the site owners. only javascript.
if anyone has seen this done , i would love a URL.
