Yanno, I have a clear memory of playing around with a dropdown menu in
Dreamweaver, but when I went back to find it, it was not there. I'm thinking
it must have been really strong wishful thinking.

Lacking Dreamweaver assistance in doing this, I found some good scripts at
dynamicdrive.com. You'll need at least a basic understanding of how to tweak
JavaScript to use them.

Here's the best way to do it -

and here's an example you can analyze -

Ha! I found it!

I was thinking you were talking about an "expanding menu" kind of drop down
menu, rather than a combination box. (should have read more carefully). At any
rate, Gary is right.

And I found the expanding menu thingy again - It's in behaviors, not
"insert." Create a hyperlink, highlight it, go to behaviors and add "on
mouseover or on click" ->show pop-up menu.

I'm glad to know I'm not losing my mind.

hi

In Mx2004 it is a new behaviour - very easy to use menu. In older versions I
use to animate (with a timeline) layers, driven by behaviours to roll down.
This is very time consuming but possible to create the effect.

combo box in flash?

A combo box is nothing more than an HTML <select>. Just click Insert->Form
Object->Jump Menu.
