I want to make a flash menu like the one at cbs.com, its the dark blue one on the left, after your mouse leaves the button it quickly fades back to its original color. Can anyone help? I would like to download it from somewhere or create it myself. I have experience with Fireworks, Dreamweaver, java, php, html, css...etc but I am just getting started with Flash. Thanks.

Nah, it should probably go in "Other". Anyway, here's a rather flexible example (with some non-beginner ActionScript) I quickly cooked together. Could be useful. Saved it in Flash 8, can save in MX 2004 format if needed. It's set to publish for FlashPlayer 8, but should be publishable for FlashPlayer 7 too.
Information on how to change colours, fonts, fade in/out time, size etc. is in the actionscript on the first frame of the stage.

(didn't write the IE activation workaround, so if you open it in IE, you'll have to activate it by mouse click (as usual)).very nice and thank you, exactly what I was looking for.

There ya go 
thank you Kaneda, I am trying to get the text to display in the menu bars?
I add the menu label to msTextHolder? If so what is the format I use for each menu button?
I am ramping up on flash as we speak, I think I need a couple tutorials under my belt.

Read the script on the first frame of the stage 
You just change the text in the array "CAPTIONS", adding as many lines as you need menu items. The URLs to open are in the array LINKS. The script creates the menu buttons for you when the Flash file is run.Thats what I initially thought but the text does not show up on the mx2004 version, like the one you have posted.
I could do this for you for free just because i have that much time on my hands but im going to need a bit mroe detail than what youre currently saying you want, do you want just a simple menu with alpha fadeout or do you want a one color artistic menu where everything is one color just different shades of it elaborate a lil but and i can help you e-mail me at | Quote: |
