Multi level menu problem

1

Hi there

I have been working on creating a menu that will be driven by an Articulate presentation.
I have used senocular’s XML-Driven Drop-Down-Menu tutorial (THANKS FOR THE TUT BTW) as the base and adapted it to read in from the artAPI rather than an XML file.

My problem is that although I can build the menu and have sub menu’s appear every element of the menu is included in all levels.

I probably haven’t made myself very clear but have posted the actionscript below. What I need is if the curr_slide is a level 0 it will appear in the top level menu and if its a level 1 it will appear as a sub menu of the level 0 above it.

I did try to attach a zip of the whole example but it was 555kb and exceded the site file limit. So I have uploaded it here http://www.cblendedlearning.com/menu_sample.zip

Hope some one can help me from pulling my hair out.

// as well as any of the submenus
