navigational roll over

[eclipsegrafx]

im making a navbar on flash, and i have it to drop down the next set of buttons on roll over and stay there till another main level nav is activated but wht i am stuck on is making it stay there if i rollover the same main nave again. example:

i rollover media solutions: kis, kis hd, mirrorvision drop down and stay down
i rollover media solutions again and it drops down again

how do i do it or wht is the text for the if/else statement (thts assuming im doing it rite by using tht) to make it work like this

i rollover media solutions: kis, kis hd, mirrorvision drop down and stay down
i rollover media solutions again and it stays at the drop down stage.

?

what I would do is make a movie clip for each menu, making a rollover button that tells te movieclip to go forward and show the sub nav.keep this on one frame with a stop in the timeline to keep it there.when you roll over the button you'll move forward in teh timeline animating teh drop down menu.

k that part is done. now if you move away from teh menu there is no button to close it just the way you want it.

the last thing would be closing the menu when somethign is clicked or when another menu iten is activated.

you could make a function on the root timeline that would close any open movieclips, or the last movieclip that was open by setting variables etc.. then you would just tell movie clip to play its closing animation.

sounds complicated but draw it out on paper and its real easy.

hope that helps
