Hi everyone, I am having trouble finding info on how to have a dynamic path, I know I have asked this question before but I think it is different this time, since I am using it in a function…

This is my code, why doesnt it work?

```auto

onClipEvent (load){
	function dropDown(section){
		dropdownmenuTarget = eval("_root.submenu_"+section);
		variableTarget = eval("_root."+section+"menuOver");
		buttonTarget = eval("_root."+section+"_button");
		
		if (buttonTarget.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
			buttonTarget.gotoAndStop(2);
			variableTarget = true;
			trace("on");
			
		} else if (dropdownmenuTarget.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
			buttonTarget.gotoAndStop(2);
			variableTarget = true;
			trace("Sub Menu On");
		} else {
			buttonTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
			variableTarget = false;
			trace("off");
		}
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	dropDown(services);
}

```

Thank you all for your help!
