Hi everybody.
I am currently having problems with my menu on [http://xplicitone.com/sites/nicci1.html](http://xplicitone.com/sites/nicci1.html) The layout is incomplete but I am having a hard time edit the menu. The site is made for a model who has no flash knowledge but I wanted to menu to load .html or .txt files so she can edit those by here self. I do not know much of xml text files so thats something else i have to learn myself another day. I had recieved some templates and fell inlove with the menu.
My problem is I would like for the on release to load the html/txt file for that button. I am having problems getting it to function properly. I keep getting.
> **Error** Symbol=Symbol 27, layer=ActionScript, frame=1:Line 2: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
> on (release) {
> **Warning** Symbol=Symbol 27, layer=ActionScript, frame=1:Line 4: The identifier ‘loadVars’ will not resolve to built-in object ‘LoadVars’ at runtime.
> loadText = new loadVars();
> Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2

I beleive its just a case issue, AS 2.0 is case sensetive, so loadvars() is different than LoadVars()🙂

Sorry I thought I uploaded the .fla here it is. I got rid of the error message but I realize that when I click my buttons they don’t go to the pages that I have assigned…
here’s the link with the files and .fla:
