Hi there everybody! I am from South Africa & have just recently joined ActionScript.Org!

Im a noob 2 flash. i currently have created a flash header with the menu buttons being pictures....like a pic of a house 4 HOME, a phone 4 CONTACT, etc...

below the picture menu buttons, i would like 2 display the sublinks associated with that menu button from a text file (in case i need 2 update it). i know how to do this using Dynamic Text, but what i would like to know is how 2 make each submenu fade in when the picture menu button is clicked & then fade out when another menu button is clicked. i will provide an image of what im talkin abt soon 2 give u an idea!

I have looked at an example provided by an AS.org member, Vosgien http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=42197, but i could not follow the .fla file at all :confused:

i would please like 2 know how (or if u could point me in the direction of a tutorial) 2 achieve this!

thanx a mil!

hi guys....sorry, the attached gif image is what i meant.

i would like text from a txt file to fade into the dashed box area when 1 of the menu buttons are clicked. (the image is purely 4 exposition tho!)
