Navigation Bar Fade

Question

Hi
I have created a nav bar in Fireworks CS3 (mac) using the
pop-up menu editor. I would like it so that when you roll over the
pop-ups, not only do they appear but they fade in and out on mouse
over and out. How can i do this? Would it involve changing the code
when taking it into Dreamweaver CS3? Any help much appreciated,
thanks.

You probably need to read what I described in my last posting a few times.  If the buttons are telling the animation to play, then they can't also tell the movie to go to a new page at the same time.  Something has to wait until the animation is done, which the animation itself is perfect for.  The code you showed would be modified to be something more like...
// start of animation
stop();
var url:String;
function startClosure1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    url = "about.html";
    play();
function startClosure2(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    url = "artwork.html";
    play();
AboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startClosure1);
ArtworkBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startClosure2);
// etc...
// last frame of the animation...
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url));
