Marc,  I thought that the way the submenu's resize dynamically as you 

scroll over them had to be an Action script.  They also seem to move in 

response to your cursor [menus float from side to side like they are 

tracking you - which has to be Flash 4 right?].  


Do you think it is more than just a rollover effect on submenu buttons?  

Or if so, it looks like a very complex rollover telling the other buttons 

to scale down by percentage [as in a wave... rather than a set 

percentage...]


Any idea how you would code something like that?

I know how to do submenu MC's but this one stumped me...
