I am the webmaster for Avenue Resource, a national pornography recovery ministry. I am updating their current site (while developing a completely new one), and have incorporated CoffeeCup Flash forms. In some cases, the forms appear to cut off the Milanic menu. (I realize now that this is a known issue.) In some cases, there isn't a logical way to put the forms down lower on the page, so the flash and the menu won't conflict. They don't want a basic change to the look and feel of the current navigations. They want all changes to be on a "go forward" basis.
What I don't know is if I purchase the new version of the menu, can I emulate the exact style of menu they have now? The production site is: http://www.avenueresource.com
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can duplicate that menu, plus a heck of a lot more.
Note that the v3 system is no longer developed or supported here, so an upgrade is strongly suggested. If you're a non-profit, etc., check this page for info on qualifying for a free license.

Hi,
Also, to add to what John said, there is a version 3 to 5 converter located under the DHTML Menu tab on the main site. It's toward the bottom of that menu. So, you can just convert your existing menu array file and get a menu_data file already set up for the new version using your existing style. There will be a couple of changes you need to make, but not many at all.

Thanks so much for the input!
Thanks to both of you (John and Ruth) for replying. I love the product, and intend to use it in other app development in the future. I'll check into the non-profit status as well. I'll try the converter and get back to you with a "good report" very soon.
Hi,
One thing, you can't put the menu in the table the way you have it now. It's similar but not the same. Take a look at this example page and the other link for more indepth explanations and the table menu sample.

Also, if you're going to use it in applications, that would not be a free license, but the one for that site might be, though the pro license is pretty inexpensive given what it gives you.

We're going from Bad to Worse
I can't get it working -- I've followed your examples and I keep on getting a crazy error message ("menuname is undefined, line 3") when line 3 in the source file is the "<HTML>" tag.
-- The beginning of the code at the <BODY> tag includes:

I think Ruth is correct.
Also, if you're not planning on supporting NS4, use the new JS call for the menu system...
