I want to attempt to utilize the “[XML Driven Drop Down Menu](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu5.htm)” available here on kirupa as a menu system for an XML MP3 player. I think I understand on some level what needs to be done. I fail to logically understand how to put it together. The _XML Drop Down Menu Tutorial_ in question easily offers a way to run a function from any of the menu items. The XML can contain variables that are passed to the functions. For anyone who has gone through that tutorial, you’ll understand. I may not entirely understand it though. I believe I do… My intentions may not work out but I’m wondering if it could: I want the menu items to list categories. Upon clicking on a category/menu item it displays a list of MP3s. You can then choose an MP3 to play. I’m wondering how I might most effectively go about this? How should I alter the XML file for the Drop Down Menu? Should there be an additional XML file for listing the audio and MP3s? Could I simply create a function for the _XML Drop Down Menu_ that could perform this task? Thank you for any help.
