Hi Kurt,
I may well take you up on your offer. Is there a chance we could talk
briefly by phone before you leave? I want to consider hiring you to
do the menu, but need to clarify what would be involved to meet my
specs. I also want you to know that the client needs to sign off on
the nav design (though it's virtually the same as the site they
wanted to look like), so unless this would be a really simple,
low-cost job, I'd probably do a rough mockup pending client approval.
I'm also looking into a menu system described in "Flash Application
Design Solutions: Flash Usability Handbook" (Friend of Ed), whose
files are downloadable.
Vacation sounds nice :)
Thanks!

I''m sorry Mark. I should have looked closer. that's a different beast.
but not a hard beast!
I wish I could offer to help further, but I'm trying to keep
everybody happy before I leave for a vacation Friday.
If it can wait I can help next week.

Hey Kurt,
Good to hear from you, too. I still have your old emails :)
Your menu would be useful to me if it allowed a cascade of
full-width menu bars as in this gif:
<http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/images/menuExample_MH060903a.gif>http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/images/menuExample_MH060903a.gif
It only needs to go three levels deep (as in the gif) but must
highlight the selected menu items so the user can readily see the
path to the current content.
Have you done any work on the menu that might lend itself to such
an application?
Thanks and regards,
Marc

Marc, this may be of use, though it's a little dated.
I've probably got better code ast my office that I just haven't
uploaded yet, but maybe it will get you started...

PS > it's good to see you're still out there. I recall emailing
you at least 5 years ago!

[Still looking for the menu I need -- I'd sure appreciate if
someone on the list has a clue for me. thanks!]
I know this should be searchable, but I'm really not finding what
I need in the archives or Google.
I need to find or create a horizontal drop-down menu that expands
up to three tiers high. Each tier is a differently-colored bar
the full width of the stage and contains text links. Links change
color on rollover. Bars descend on mouseclick, not on rollover.
They have a smooth tweening motion, not just an instant
drop-down. Clicked links retain their rollover color so that if a
user gets to the third tier, there would be a highlighted link in
each level showing the user what path they'd taken. This should
be xml-based. I'm happy to pay for something that will save me a
day's scripting, but it has to fit the above parameters or be easily adaptable.
Here's an example of the menu expanced to all three tiers:
