Flash Drop Down Menu Tutorial – Actionscript 3.0
Creating a Drop Down Menu for your website is perhaps the most requested and hotly searched item for designers across the web. In this tutorial we will take a look at how to build a Flash Actionscript 3.0 Drop Down Menu which is easy to add drop down sections to, and pretty simple to setup. The beauty of this technique is that once you have built on Menu you can simply take it and do a few color changes, or Menu/ Text changes and you have a brand new Drop Down Menu.
Well…… the video doesn’t work. Clicked the link to make sure I had the latest QuickTime and still doesn’t work. Really wanted to see this one.
What is the problem is not defined in navbar Glow
when I écsécute it gives me the following problem:
sequence 1, Layer ‘AS’, Frame 1, line 1120: Access to undefined property navBarGlow.
Who can help me
Can anyone (hopefully Nathaniel) tell me how to do the rest of the drop down menus? I got the first one working as shown in this video, and I created new buttons and frame for the next menu, but it doesnt drop down. Does anyone know what extra code I need to add to the actionscript? I really need help
did you ever find out? I need to do the others as well!

Jah Bless!
thank you so much .it was really useful
I spent days working on this, and finally figured everything out EXCEPT for the functions for the individual drop down buttons. I tried writing the code exactly like the first one only changing
homeFrame_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, goBackF);
Then I change the homeFrame_btn to the name of my other frame buttons. only to get a 1021 error code.
this is the error code
Symbol ‘mcDropDowns’, Layer ‘AS’, Frame 15, Line 4 1021: Duplicate function definition.
This is the code that I changed
stop();
authorFrame.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, goBackF);
****function goBackF(event:MouseEvent):void{***
gotoAndStop(1);
}
the section with the asterisks is the error code. What did I do wrong
