Re: FLASH: How do you have menus overlap content?

[Davis Hammon]

I believe the way they do this is by using DHTML. The process is 

creating multiple layers with their own timeline. Then using 

javascript control the timeline depending on the actions of the user. 

Dreamweaver 2 will write all the code for you. Read up on the 

Timeline section of the manual.
