Help - Button Menu Question??

[thierry]

Hi,

put the scripts they show you into a mousedown Handler
in your button script and that's it :-)

HTH, thierry

RRF> Jan, Alain and Frank,

RRF> THANK YOU very much for your helpful suggestions. They do work for
RRF> setting the pull down buttons items from OUTSIDE the button's script.

RRF> But what I'm really trying to do is change the button's items from
RRF> INSIDE the button's script i.e. Each time the button is clicked a new list
RRF> of items is displayed based on a string (of list items) from a Global
RRF> Variable.

RRF> I certainly can utilize your suggestions using a second "list
RRF> actuating" button as a work around - but I would prefer to avoid that.

RRF> Thanks again for your responses and they were helpful. I'll keep
RRF> looking for a single button approach.
