A little help with my nav bar please

[meik]

I have a nav bar I'm trying to customize. I want to be able to make text have a rollover action that fades in a click-able sub menu. Each text element in the sub menu will link to a separate page. I have created the images and text, but I'm having trouble targeting the sub-menu. After reviewing tutorials on this and other boards, the answer is perhaps in putting the sub in a movie clip, making the top level text a button, and using a onmouserollover/tell target event to access it. Unfortunately, I haven't got it to work yet. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the fla file of the nav menu. Thanks very much.

Also, what books are good resources for actionscripting, and for Flash MX in general? Does anyone know of a website that contain user rating's on books like this?

Yeah...that's a link to a link to my menu as it stands now. I probably should have just posted the direct path.

Im going to try out the tut...thanks. Incidentally, how does one target an html frame from a link embeded into a flash nav?

I really need to get some literature on this stuff. I'm looking at 'Inside Flash MX', or 'Flash MX unleashed'. Reader comments anyone? thanks again...

Inside Flash MX is an excellent book and very readable. She deals with a lot of the little things other books don't usually deal with, but that make life as a flasher so much easier.

to target an html frame use

getURL("whatever.html","frameName");

cheers
