Hi,

I’ve been trying everything I can think of to get this fairly basic flash movie working but to no avail! ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3617/361341c146e0850c.gif)

I’ve created a tsunami menu made up of duplicated menu items. Each menu item should have a rollover and selected state of 240% which works fine. When a menu item has been selected it jumps to another frame but until the user interacts with it it should loop through the different categories.

My problem is that I can’t get the menu items to scale big while it is looping through the different categories on the matching category frames.

I’m thinking I could reference the duplicated menu items by their level or soemthing but I really dont have a clue. Any help would be very much appreciated!

I’ve attached my source file which would help to clarify.

Thanks

Joanna
