FLASH: newbie: cascading menu effect

[Mike Salo]

Hi all,


I have just started exploring Flash 4 and I am trying to create the

cascading menu effect that many sites use.  For example, in this diagram:


a       b


   zzz

   zzz

   zzz


c       d


I was hoping that when the user hovered their mouse over a,b,c, or d, the

area zzz would display different short menus of choices which could then be

clicked to go to different areas of the site.


In searching through the online tutorials and my Flash manuals, what

techniques should I be looking at to achieve this effect?  Is each menu that

appears a separate movie that is somehow called by the mouseover?


Thanks very much,

Mike
