Re: FLASH: which is right?

[Nathan Dicken]

Hi Helen,


I had to ask the same question in working on the cascading nav recently -

http://www.fusionary.com/flashdemos/cascading_nav.  It just looked right

(in this situation) to have it work like you described in method b.

However, method a. is fairly standard...  Whatever appears to function

better in your project would make the best choice.
