I am brand new to flash and am trying to configure a horizontal drop down menu "component" into my html page. The problem I'm having is that when I configure the width of my drop-down menu and embed it into the html page, whatever width I set my menu to, the content underneath it is pushed down according to that size, and I have a big gap between them. When I set the width to a lesser amount and put it into the page the content below is not pushed down, but now the popup menu entries get cut off. Is there a trick to make the popup glide over the content below instead of pushing it down? Here's the embed code if it helps...Thanks in advance!
