Hey guys,

here’s my as:

```auto

var uniqueDepth = 0;
function makeMenu(myX, menuid) {
 rows = 10;
 for (i=0; i<rows; i++) {
  curr_item = curr_menu.attachMovie("menuitem", "item"+i+"_mc", uniqueDepth);
  curr_item._x = myX;
  curr_item._y = 15*i;
  trace(curr_item._y);
  curr_item.onRelease = function() {
   makeMenu(230*menuid);
   menuid++;
  };
  uniqueDepth++;
  urlbutton = curr_menu.attachMovie('menuitemurl', 'myurl'+uniqueDepth, uniqueDepth+1*rows);
  urlbutton._x = curr_item._width;
  urlbutton._y = curr_item._y;
  urlbutton.onRelease = function() {
   trace('url');
  };
  uniqueDepth++;
 }
}
makeMenu(0, 1);

```

Basically Im trying to create a menu, and when you click an item, a ‘sub menu’ open directly to its right. Based loosely on the xml menu tute here a kirupa, except I want to attach more then one button for each menu item, in this case a url button.

The initial menu laods fine, but the second stage is missing the url button …and I cant figure out why.

Pleas enote this code has just been put together whiel i work out …er…how this works! lol.

FLA Also attached…any help would be awesome!
