Hi John, Your example is exactly what I have been looking to do for awhile now but I'm new to xml and trying to get the hang of it. Would you be willing to share off list your lingo or perhaps an explanation of your process?

Here's a rough example of what I mean based on something from an old project. http://members.optusnet.com.au/~johnjaq/h_menu_demo/ There are three sprites - the menu, the box & the line. The menu is parsed from an xml format #field. the text member formatting is highly customisable. Doing a shadow would be easy. hth johnAq on 20/12/02 2:18 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Specifically, I'm looping through the data from an xml doc, and > building cascading menus from it (drop each menu item into a text > member, grab the image, copy away, store the dest rect and relevant > info for mousing stuff).
