custom pop up menu

[wdwr14 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I am trying to make a horizontal pop up menu in DW MX. I have already made my nav bar (using buttons) in FW and it works perfectly. I want to add a pop up menu below two of my buttons. I have already made the menu that I want to use. What I want to be able to do is import this menu that I made and make it a 'mouse over' effect for two of these buttons. I tried to do this in FW by adding this menu in the 'Over' section of the button editor...but to no avail. It doesn't look right (I can't get the 'Active Area' to be exactly where I want it).

I am wanting to know the best possible way of accomplishing this task. I would do it using slices, but I can't add slices to buttons. I can obviously make a plain pop up menu that works, (and I have BTW), but I need it to be a custom color as well as size...neither of which can I get the "canned" pop up menu creator to do.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance!!
