    Hi, if i've made a drop down menu in Flash how do I get the first button to stay on the rollover state as you go up and down the drop down?

    basically, so its like your OS where say, 'File' stays on rollover as you scroll up and down the list.

    cheers!

    put the "file" button into another movieClip where you have the same button on over status on frame2. when you roll over the dropdown you just tell this MC that it should gotoAndStop(2) and you have your "file" button in the over status - vice versa when you roll out.

    yeah thanks, I think its going to be a bit more difficult than that, at this stage at least.. I have a strip of 4 buttons across the top which on rollover each reveal their own secondary menu which on a horizontal axis lists 4 sub categories which each reveal their own dropdown. I wanted the first and the second category buttons to stay lit as you went down through the menu.. I'm in a tangle now!! too many nested mc's.
