Can I use my own images with the DHTML menu builder to create submenus for the links on my page? Each of my links is a custom button. I want to use a variation of the button for links on the sub menu. Then either import into VSD or since I have done everything I need in VSD, open the site in HTML editor and import the menu.

A word on using DHTML menu builder in VSD: If you use the HTML Creator to insert the menu, you will not be able open your project in VSD with that change. The best way of applying the menu is to save the menu as a separate .js file, and then use the html tool on VSD to link to it, like i.e.:
<script language="javascript" src="path_to_menu/menu.js" type='text/javascript'>
</script> Ha en riktig god dag!

You can use images with the DHTML menu. They will display behind any words you have entered into the menu itself.
You will need to edit the menu code.
/***********************************************************************
YOU MAY MANUALLY CHANGE THE MENU HERE, BUT BE VERY CAREFUL !

Menu1=new Array("Home","http://www.yoursite.com","/img/home.png",0,20,80);

The image will display the full size you have set for height and width. I used an image that is 20x20 and it displays four times since I have the width set to 80. So if you design a custom button, and make it 20x80, it would work nicely in the code above. Bill R.

I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong post for this... Just now joining the forums... question when using flash menu builder... How come I can't get the submenus to appear as "drop downs"... the keep coming up with another line of menu items as the subs I created. If I should be in a different forum, I'd sure appreciate some direction. Thanks to all very much. bk

Brian, that is the way the Flash Menu builder i made. It's not designed to make the submenus drop down in a horizontal menu.

Brian,
Have you looked at the CoffeeCup DHTML menu builder? That will do drop down sub-menus. It will also do multiple levels of sub-menus. Bill R.
