If what is?

Anyway, to answer the question at hand. I would simply have an object to handle all of this. Probably with an array and two status, dropped down and default. I can't believe you can't program this yourself or are you looking for some kind of special and simple solution?

sorry about that i guess i forgot to add the link http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/video_tutorials/drop_down_menu.asp maybe you can use that to help i would suggest just using a few empty text fields with preset instnance names to do what you need im guessing

Whoa, what a horrible tutorial. So much useless information >< . I doubt that is of any use as it uses up a lot of layers and frames. I bet I could code this thing all in one class and a lot more dynamical.

hmm...that is not exactly what i was looking for, but thanks for trying anyway....i need a drop-down list like a html one, i mean a list which drops down a bit and has a scrollbar such that the list can never go beyond the page...

i better try to find my own way out..
