Creating a Drop Down Menu
Author: Adrian Wherry
| Website: http://adweb-design.dyndns.org:81 |
Before we start
constructing our menu in Flash, we first need to create our buttons and button
cover in a graphics package. It can be constructed just as easily within Flash,
but I have chosen a 3rd party graphics package to give the graphics a bit more
depth...in this case I have used Fireworks 3 (as it is a macromedia product
and integrates seamlessly with Flash and Dreamweaver), but any of the good graphics
packages (PaintShop Pro, PhotoShop, PhotoSuite. etc) will perform just as well.
Tip:
PaintShop Pro provides
a simple 'buttonize' effect if you don't want to spend too long on the graphics.
Dimensions
Cover Size: 194
x 175 pixels
Button Size: 191
x 44 pixels
Note: These dimensions are not set in stone!
