There is no predefined function for this, other then making a program
menu bar in a projector.

There is a simple drop down selector behavior in the Library window.

[iso96]

1. create a text field.

2. copy and paste the below code into a behaviour

3. put the behaviour into the text field created in 1.

4. play movie, place mouse over text field then click. you should see - plate,
cylider etc

5. in the code change to what you want to appear in the list : set droplist
= [ "??????? " , "????????", ] you can enter as many lines as you want

Hope it helps



on mouseDown

set me = the castNum of sprite (the clickOn)
-- Prep the dropdown list:
set dropList = ["Plate Circular", "Plate Irregular", "Cylinder Straight" ]
set temp = EMPTY
repeat with x in dropList
put x & RETURN after temp
end repeat
-- Remove the trailing "RETURN":
delete char (length (temp)) of temp
put temp into field me

-- Enter main repeat loop:
set oldLine = 0
repeat while the stilldown
if the mouseCast = me then set newLine = the mouseLine
else set newLine = 0
if oldLine <> newLine then
if newLine then hilite line (newLine) of field me
else put temp into field me
set oldLine = newLine
end if
end repeat

-- Clean up and close out:
if newLine then put (line (newLine) of field me) into field me
else put "Select from list" into field me

end mouseDown

The above dropdown menu I have been trying to make it work with a frameless
window ;ie to open a popup when the link is clicked,so the new link is in a
frameless window.

But can not get it to work has anyone an idea of how to make it work.

Thanks
Chris

Don't use menus like that. They embed all your links in javascript and will
render your site non-spiderable unless you also have the same links in plain
HTML somewhere.

Learn how to do these menus the right way - use the methods taught and the
free extensions here -

Has I only have Dreamweaver4 I can not use this :-(
I don't have a problem with menus just need away to open a frameless window
from it .

Thanks

You can use the methods with ordinary show-hide layers and they will work
fine. All that means is that you cannot use their extensions with DW4, but
the methods are universal.
