Creating Drop Down Menus

[gwpriester]

Several people have asked me if there is a way to create drop down menus in Xtreme 4.

After a bit of thought, the answer is, Sure. Why not.

Here how.

Create your Normal State buttons

For each Normal State button, create a new Layer called Dropdown, Dropdown-2, Dropdown-3, etc.

Paste separate grouped buttons on these drop down layers and add a Web Address to each. These buttons will appear as a single drop down menu with various choices.

Create a new layer, MouseOver. Copy and paste the drop down buttons to this new layer and change the appearance of the buttons.

Create a new layer, MouseDown. Copy and paste the drop down buttons to this new layer and change the appearance of the buttons.

I've attached a simple 4 page Xtreme 4 XAR document so you can see what I have done and how the buttons appear on the layers and how they are linked (in this case to new pages).
