Maybe im double posting from the xml menu thread, but im soooooooooo stuck its making me crazy…

Using the Xml\_Menu\_v2\_buttonDown that hga77 created, ive been trying to add a next and previous button to it with no success.

I can sort of get the buttons to move between the sub levels but, cant get actions to execute and move to the next or previous parent nodes.

```auto
_parent.next_btn.onRelease = function()
	{
		trace(current);
		if (curItem != item)
		{
		currentbtn = parseInt(previousSub._name)+1;
		executeAction(action,previousSub);
		trace(current)
		}		
	}

```

Its doing my head in… Ive spent the last 3 days looking at this and i cant let it go… Please put me out of my misery…
