A number of people get confused when creating a NavBar with rollover effects.

Here is a simple demonstrator: Xara - Simple Rollover Layered Menu.xar

Try creating a Yellow button that matches the red one with its sub-menu.

This approach allows you to be highly creative but you need to master the fundamentals:

  1. A button shape on MouseOff.
  2. A collection of shapes in a new Layer.
  3. The button has a Web Animation effect to the Layer.
  4. The button needs to have a fully connected area with the pop-up objects so use a Transparent undershape on the Layer.
