Greetings!I am a new Dreamweaver MX/Fireworks MX user, and I am on a Mac G4 platform.
I have a horizontal nav bar with four separate pop-up menus. I have created the pop-up menus in Fireworks MX. For some reason, when I preview my webpage, only the first pop-up menu works, and the other three don't do anything. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
The Fireworks Help says you only need one mm.menu.js file in the same directory as your html file where the pop-up menus are located, and I have checked this there.
Thanks for the help!

Greetings cooldown:
I just started experimenting myself with the popup menu building feature of Fireworks MX. There is only one mm.menu.js file created when you build the popup menu with Fireworks. It sort of sounds like you only created the pop-up behavior for the first button, if only the first button actually works. I'm not sure what the specifics are for how you created all your pop-up menus, but I just clicked on each button and added a pop-up menu behavior for each one and the menus worked flawlessly. I pretty much followed the tutorial on Macromedia's site to create my first one.

Guano989,
Thanks for the reply!
I too followed the tutorial, but with less than stellar results. It seems that whichever pop-up menu I finish last is the only pop-up menu which actually works in the browser preview.
I can get each individual pop-up menu to work, but I can't get them all to work at the same time. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Would you like to send my your Fireworks file? I can take a look. I think I've gotten working with the popup menus down pretty well now.
