Project 9: Creating a Menu

In this chapter, you create a menu that triggers submenus when the user rolls over each main button. The submenus are text-based and animate in from the left side of the Stage. When the user rolls over menu items, a rectangle appears as well. Additionally, you design the menu using a PNG graphic that you import into the FLA file.

Users click buttons in the submenus to navigate to different parts of a website. You can use this menu with an all-Flash website or with HTML-formatted content to form a hybrid website.
