slide menu with a MC

[Cazz]

I have a MC that I have a menu inside.

I like to make it at begin that is not so big but when I move the mouse over it slide down and show everyting and when I move the mouse from it slide to the size that have before

I have no idea right now.

I have try a little with ._height but that was not good :o

you mean like a dropdown menu?

if you want it to be 0 pixels tall until it's activated, then stretch out, use the ._yscale property (from 0 to 100, then back to 0).

most people do a sliding menu. are you sure you want to stretch it? i'm not saying there's a problem with it. i just want to make sure i'm giving you advice to achieve the effect you are really looking for.

hmm maybe a little like dropdown menu


Like I have a square that I can see the first link and when I move the mouse over it get taller.

I hav attach a picture.
The yellow square is the MC

The left is that when the mouse is not over and the right is when the mouse is over

yeah that's a dropdown, search the forums for 'dropdowns'. I think there may even be some tutorials on it so check out that section too!

Thanks.
Look like a dropdown but more basic.
I try to find how to create a basic dropdown menu with a MC but that is not easy.

I just like to make my MC show more when the mouse is over.

Hmm maybe with a mask I can use like I want to have it.

I try now to find to make basic mask
