Fairly simple problem (i think)

1

i’m using hga77’s xml menu you can view here.

ok, so i’m trying to load swfs from the menu, what i’ve got so far is:

function executeAction()
    {
		loadMovie("NEWS.swf", _root.content);
		trace(NEWS.swf);
		
		
    }
    /*Uncomment the above line to get the menu working
		and add a content mc on the stage (with the instance name "content") to
		load in your stuff (swf's, jpg's, etc).
		*/
	function selectItem(itemType, item)
    {
		if(itemType == "item")
		{
			curSub = null;
			if (this[item].action != null && curItem != item)
        	{
				executeAction(this[item].action);
        	} 
        	if (this[item].sub == false || curItem == item)
        	{
				curItem = null;
        	    removeSub();
        	}
        	else
        	{
			   	curItem = item;
        	    buildSub(item);
        	}
		}
		else if(itemType == "sub")
		{
			if (subholder[item].action != null && curSub != item)
        	{
				executeAction(subholder[item].action);
        	} 
        	if (subholder[item].subsub == false || curSub == item)
        	{
				curSub = null;
        	    removeSubSub();
        	}
        	else
        	{
				curSub = item;
        	    buildSubSub(item);
        	}
		}
	}

and the code on the xml is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<menu>
	
	<item name="NEWS" action="executeAction">
	</item>
	
	<item name="BIOGRAPHY" action="link2">
	</item>
	
	<item name="COLLECTION" action="link3">
		<sub name="XX/XX" action="link3,1">
			<subsub name="PRESS RELEASE" action="link3,2,1"/>
			<subsub name="COLLECTION" action="link3,2,2"/>
			<subsub name="MINIATURE" action="link3,2,3"/>
			<subsub name="COLLECTION" action="link3,2,4"/>
		</sub>
	</item>
	
	<item name="PRESS & EVENTS" action="link4">
	</item>
	
	<item name="CONTACT" action="link4">
	</item>
	
</menu>

now i’ve got it working for the first button fine, however i can’t work out how to make the other buttons work, i’ve tried creating loads more load functions like this:

function executeBIO()
    {
		loadMovie("BIO.swf", _root.content);
		trace(BIO.swf);
    }
	function executePRESS()
    {
		loadMovie("PRESS.swf", _root.content);
		trace(PRESS.swf);
    }
	function executeILL()
    {
		loadMovie("ILL.swf", _root.content);
		trace(ILL.swf);
    }
	function executeMODELS()
    {
		loadMovie("MODELS.swf", _root.content);
		trace(MODELS.swf);
    }
	function executeNEWS()
    {
		loadMovie("NEWS.swf", _root.content);
		trace(NEWS.swf);
    }
	function executeCOLL()
    {
		loadMovie("COLL.swf", _root.content);
		trace(COLL.swf);
    }
	function executeP+E()
    {
		loadMovie("P+E.swf", _root.content);
		trace(P+E.swf);
    }
	function executeCONTACT()
    {
		loadMovie("CONTACT.swf", _root.content);
		trace(CONTACT.swf);
    }

but the menu stops working. is there anything i can stick in this bit “function executeAction()” that will make the loadmovie load a different swf each time, rather than creating loads of loadmovie functions.

obviously i’m not a coder, but i thought this would be fairly simple. been searching the help files and i can’t find an explanation of it. anyone got any ideas?

Cheers.
