Is there a way to add an external movie to the Dropdown Menu extention? For instance - as I pass over a button I would like to add another effect on the main page.

The instructions are still vague on how to actually make it work with the onRollOver and onRollOut events.
This is what I have and it doesn't work.
function myFunction1() {
//trace("this is FUNCTION1 called by my button")
//here you can add anything: gotoAndPlay, getURL, calling other functions, loading ...anything
myFunction1.onRollOver = function (){
this.attachMovie(affhexes,affhex,80);
}
myFunction1.onRollOut = function (){
this.attachMovie(afffades,affhexfade,80);
}
All I want to do is apply an external movie on the Rollover and Rollout to each of the root buttons.
}

Hi,
I am sorry that you find the tutorial vague. Here is another example that should be more comprehensive. In the next script example we will use the following menu structure :
Button1,id=bt1
>Sub1
>Sub2
>Sub3
Button2,id=bt2
>Sub1
>Sub2
Button3,id=bt3
First you have to create an eventListener.
The events triggered by our menu component are:
changed triggered when the selected button changes (when a button is clicked or selected by ActionScript)
subMenuOpen triggered when a submenu opens
subMenuClose - triggered when a submenu closes
buttonRollOver triggered when any button is rolled over
buttonRollOut - triggered when any button is rolled out
We will use the buttonRollOver event to show how to attach movie clips to the stage as you rollover the buttons.
The code looks something like this
var menu_listener = new Object();
menu_listener.buttonRollOver = function() {
We use a switch with "my_menu.rolloverButtonID" to see which one of the buttons was rolled over
and after that for every button we attach the movie we want (it's very important that we attach the movieClip
to the _root and not "this".)
switch (my_menu.rolloverButtonID) {
case "bt1":
_root.attachMovie("movie1","movie",10);
movie._x = 300;
movie._y = 200;
break;
case "bt2" :
_root.attachMovie("movie2","movie",10);
movie._x = 300;
movie._y = 200;
break;
case "bt3":
_root.attachMovie("movie3","movie",10);
movie._x = 300;
movie._y = 200;
break;
}
}
my_menu.addListener(menu_listener);
You can use buttonRollOut the same as buttonRollOver. ( rolloutButtonID is the equivalent for rolloverButtonID )
Kind regards,
Lavinia Iancu

That's seems to do the trick, but now I have another issue with it. How do I make submenu on top of the rollOver movie. It's pushing the movie on top of any submenu - virtually hiding it.
