[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I have taken over the project from another developer and tried to reutilize as much of what was done, specially the menu part which has more AS and I am not an expert in actionscript.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]It is 98% finished but I am having 2 problems that I cannot fix and was wondering if anyone can have a look and maybe give me some help in sorting it out.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]1.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]When you navigate to Projects/Portfolio -> Resort -> Amangani Villas -> Aman3 (or any other) and then go back to Projects / Portfolio -> Residential -> Warshaw (or any other) the Resort crumb is still showing…[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]2.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/FONT][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]When the menu is expanded and the user click anywhere else on the screen the menu should go back to where it was, I have done a little fix on this that now retracts the menu to its initial state but wanted it to show the cookie crumbs rather than initialize the menu ( I can discuss this more with you)[/SIZE][/FONT]

I can send you menu xml file, if you think you can help.
