Hello I am a beginner to intermidate flash user…still lots to learn in actionscript and just learning xml.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]I found a cool menu that I’d like to be able to use but right now I don’t know how to make the buttons become functional links.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Can someone tell me if its just a matter of editing the XML only? Or…does something need to be added to the actionscipt as well. I have a hunch both need to be edited and I have already tried various revisions.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]If possible please let me know what code I need to use to make it work.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Below is the link where the example and files can be found.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Here is the XML code[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“iso-8859-1”?\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 1 “load=”” image=""/\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 2” load="" image=""/\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 3” load="" image=""/\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 4” load="" image=""/\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 5” load="" image=""/\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 6” load="" image=""/\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 7 “load=”” image=""/\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 8” load="" image=""/\>[/LEFT]

[LEFT]\<item nazov=“button num 9” load="" image=""/\>[/LEFT]
