Hi all,  
I’m working on a site that uses drop-down menus that are based on this kirupa tutorial:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dropdownmenu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dropdownmenu.htm)

The menus work fine, however this is my dilemma:  
There are six independant menus (1 for each area of the site). How do target the buttons contained in the menu movie clips to a specific frame on the main timeline? More specifically, what actionscript would I apply to a button in “menu1” to target frame 3 of the main timeline.

Furthurmore, can I load this information as an external swf into an empty mc on the main stage called “container” in frame 3?

Thanks for your help 🙂
