Hi

I've been trying to set up a list box to simulate a drop down box containing a menu that the viewer can use to navigate to pub pages.

I've entered each page into the list box and created a hypertext with a Go To Page action for each.

I've set the list box properties to initially hidden and set a mouse over trigger for the list box with an action to show the list box and a mouse exit trigger to hide it. Can't get this to work. If I use a hotspot on top of the list box with these actions, it works. But the list box itself can't seem to accept these 2 actions (nor, additionally, transtions like reveal down or up that I would add to simulate a drop down effect).

Has anyone tried this to check if it works? Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly?

I would appreciate any help with this. I would rather not use a hotspot if possible.

Happy New Year!

Kind Regards,
Stephen

Hi

Oscar's earlier example to help create drop down menu's (see example in Forum) provides a solution. Thanks Oscar!

Hi Stephen,

I use a slightly different solution using frames and buttons. Isn't this one of the best things about Opus, there is usually more than one way to do something

Hi David

Yes, Opus has great versatility. Superb software!

I'm almost always able to find a work-a-round in Opus to achieve a desired effect.

If you could, please share specifics (or post a brief example) of your solution, using frames and buttons. The Forum is a rich resource for finding solutions, which I regularly search when stuck.

Kind Regards,

Stephen

I have updated the example attached to my first post with a short explanation.

Hi David

Thanks for your reply and example. Quite ingenious! I hadn't thought about using frames this way.

Again, thanks.

Stephen
