i have a site with a main banner, on the bottom left corner of that banner, i
want to have a button, from that button (when clicked) my site menu will
appear. And when clicked again, the menu will dissappear.
right now, i have made a flash file that size of the actual button, and
included the menu below the non showing area. I thought this would work, but
to my dismay, it doesnt... the button clicks, but you cant see any of the
menu...

i think maybe i need a "float" menu?
can someone steer me in the correct direction?

regards

First thing is to make sure the menu is showing up at all. Try moving it to
the middle of the stage just to make sure it becomes visible. Put borders
around it etc.

I would think you could do something like check the _visible attribute and
just change it to the opposite on each button click.

So

if(theMenu._visible == true) {
theMenu._visible == false);
} else {
theMenu._visible == true);
}

i believe i have miscommunicated the problem. I have attached the file @
http://www.ultratch.com/Untitled-3.fla

the menu is deffinatly showing up, i am assuming that because the menu lies
beyond the "ducoument area" that it is not being seen.

Thanks again
