Struggling with menu actions

[lolo1]

Hi there,

Sorry for posting such a basic question but i am really struggling with the firing actions on an item. I have read the help files but i can't seem to follow them (really sorry! i am new to flash).

I am using the downloaded file (so i have not attempted to integrate it into another project) So say, for example, i want the Author Program item in the menu to go to frame 5.

Would the XML code look like this?
<item label="Make Money"/>
<subitem label="Author Program" frame="5"/>

I am having trouble figuring out what my action scripting should look like?

Would anyone be able to help?

Many thanks,
lolo

menu_mc.onItemClick= function(node:XMLNode, level:Number){ 
    your_movie_clip.gotoAndStop(Number(node.attributes.frame));
 }

This is the code you should use. Replace your_movie_clip with the instance name of the movie clip you want to play. For example you could replace it with _root to play the main time line. Make sure your menu instance name is menu_mc.

This will work when you press either a menu item or a subitem. If you want to restrict it only to subitems, use the following:

menu_mc.onItemClick= function(node:XMLNode, level:Number){ 
    if(level == 2)
           your_movie_clip.gotoAndStop(Number(node.attributes.frame));
 }
