Re: need sliding menu that can dissapear inside frame, pls help!

I tend to always use a MIAW for this; "Movie in a window".

It means that you create the menu as a separate Director movie. I.e. you create amovie the size of the frame, and let the text slide off its Stage. Then you use the MIAW specific Lingo like 'Tell the Stage' etc. for navigation. Take it easy - it's pretty easy!

Back in the main movie (the actual content), you must set the coordinates for where you want the manu to appear. Nothing outside the menu movei Stage will appear; i.e. the text will appear to slide into air. You launch the menu with 'open window "menu" ' etc. - and close it.

Check out MIAW in Director Help.
