Button w/ floating menu question

[scoopslack]

I want to build a map full of buttons that open floating dragable menus.
I haven't figured out how to make the floating menu appear OVER (in a higher layer) than the button that opens it.

Is there a way to do that?

Tks

Alright, I don't know the exact code, and it would take me forever to figure it out, but I do have an idea...I think.

I know you would have to make the menu a symbol and change the visibility(opacity? Tint?, something like that) to 0.
After that, you'd have to to code the actions of each button to something like this...

Add the on release or on Roll over, whichever one you need, function to a button, and then target the menu and set it too change its visibility(opacity? Tint?, something like that) to 100.


That's about as specific as I can get. I hope this helps in some small way.

Thanks!!

You helped me see the obvious. If I make the buttons invisible and just make things that look like buttons on the layer below them, then the menus will float over all.

By floating you mean...like the user can click and drag it all over the stage? If so I can help you with that kind of thing...cause it is ActionScript...which happens to be my specialty.
