Not sure this is the right forum or not. I am interested in building
a few applications that would use a menu for selecting various
options. Not sure if there is a program that will do this or if it
is a script based solution. Have a few items that use this type
interface and I like it very much. Any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks

The scripting forum is probably the better forum for this question. As far as creating a menu, you can put a script in your object which will bring up a dialog box. I'm not sure if you've seen one before but it's a blue box that appears at the top right of your screen and has some buttons. You can't really change how that box or buttons look though. Another option is to make a hud based menu. Basically it's built like any other object, out of prims, and you can texture it to look like anything. The object attaches to the special hud attachment points on your avatar. It also requires a lot of scripting.

Thanks Bree for the response. The blue menu is the one I have
seen most often and would be the preferred method for what I
have in mind. So you say it's a script based solution. Ok I'll
fire the question over to that forum and see what I get. The
HUD approach is another way and depending on how easy the
script base method is to edit as to whether that will be my final solution.
Again thanks
