can any1 help me give a simple solution about mamking drop down menus with any programs or simple html coding. i want my site to look better than my friends ones but basic things like this are difficult for noobs like me to overcome

I would like to know more about drop down menus for flash, please help, thanks. Also what else do I need besides flash mx in order to make it.

In HTML you can use the 'select' tag to make a drop down menu. Inside it, you use the 'option' tag to add elements to the menu.

<select multiple name="NAME" size=?></select>
Creates a scrolling menu. Size sets the number of menu items visible before you need to scroll.


<select name="NAME"></select>
Creates a pulldown menu


<option>
Sets off each menu item

For example this will create a menu with two items:

<select name="menu1">
<option>Element 1
<option>Element 2
</select>

To make better use of this, it would be good to learn javascript too.

If you want good dropdown menu visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/

The only true success is when you live fife your own way

If you want a simple drop down list I recommend you visit http://www.funky-chickens.com it shows you all the basics aswell and it's pretty helpful especially for beginners

try

<select>
<optgroup label="Pick One" title="Pick">
<option value="232"> Choise 1 < /option>
</optgroup>
</select>

with optgroup users can't select Pick One, it is just use as a title


insted of

<select>
<option> Pick One </option>
<option value="232"> Choise 1 < /option>
</select>

Just try a search on google about learning html for good resources. I get a lot of my graphic stuff from http://www.guistuff.com because no HTML knowledge is required for those. Plus they have all kinds of other things too(templates,etc.).

Hey, that's cool~~ I need that info~ thanks!
