Alright, I seem to be having an issue with some navigation here. I dont know javascript, and so making this type of navigation using that (as most people probably would) is out of the question. Basically I am attempting to make the type of navigation where you have a list of 5 or 6 buttons stacked on top of one another.. when you roll your mouse over one of them, the menu expands into 3 or 4 different buttons off to the right of the original menu, etc. (Just like the windows start menu, basically).

Creating them isn't the problem at all.. it's implementing them into my interface.

In my experience, in order to implement a flash movie into an HTML document, you basically have to have a rectangle large enough to accompany all content that you want to be seen...

Let's say I have a 2 column table. Left cell is where the navigation goes, right cell is where the content goes. Now, let's say I only want the left cell to be 250 pixels wide maximum, but when the navigation menu is expanded, it is 500 pixels (for only one sub-level). Is there any way I can get the sub-menus to over-lap the content without having a 500 pixel wide SWF file (and a 500 pixel left table cell as well)? I was thinking of experimenting with transparent windows and such (as you see more and more with the flash pop-ups that come up on a page), but I am not sure that this would solve my problems.

Is there any way to do this, or am I going to be forced to learn some javascript, and write out a code using that?
