Hi All,

I`m working on a site with a xml menu. When clicking on a menu point in the nav. this is part of the script which is executed:

function executeAction(arg){  
\_level.play();  
display = arg;  
\_global.select=\<arg\> OR A VARIABLE depending on the arg;  
}

then in the main movie (the nav is external) I have a script that checks the variable and according to which one, it should go a certain frame or scene.

if(\_global.select==\<arg\> OR VARIABLE){  
nextFrame();  
// or gotoAndPlay(); //or whatever  
}else{  
stop();  
}

Naturally this does not work… any ideas?

Thanks in advance,  
m.
