Hi, i’m having problem trying not to open up a new frame everytime i click on the sub-headings. Here’s the [demo](http://www.geocities.com/sorro9/demo.html) so you know what i’m talking about 'coz i’m not very good at explaining 🙂  
The following is the actionscript used in flashMX…please help me i really need this to get started. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

traguardo = new Array(n.length);  
traguardof = new Array(fields.length);  
inizio = new Array(n.length);  
function traguardi() {  
cont = 0;  
for (i=0; i\<n.length; i++) {  
nome = “oggetto”+i;  
if (i\>tasto) {  
traguardo\* = (i+n[tasto])_16+1;  
for (a=cont; a\<cont+n_; a++) {  
traguardof[a] = traguardo\*;  
}  
cont = a;  
} else if (i\<tasto) {  
traguardo\* = inizio\*;  
for (a=cont; a\<cont+n\*; a++) {  
traguardof[a] = traguardo\*;  
}  
cont = a;  
} else if (i == tasto) {  
traguardo\* = inizio\*;  
for (a=cont; a\<cont+n\*; a++) {  
if (a == cont) {  
prima = a-1;  
}  
traguardof[a] = 16\*(a-prima)+traguardo\*;  
}  
cont = a;  
}  
}  
}  
clip.\_visible = 0;  
clip1.\_visible = 0;  
cont = 0;  
for (i=0; i\<n.length; i++) {  
nome = “oggetto”+i;  
duplicateMovieClip(\_root.clip, nome, i+100);  
traguardo\* = i_16+1;  
inizio_ = i_16+1;  
\_root[nome].tasto = i;  
\_root[nome].\_y = i_16+1;  
\_root[nome].title = titoli\*;  
for (a=cont; a\<cont+n\*; a++) {  
nome1 = “oggettonuovo”+a;  
duplicateMovieClip(\_root.clip1, nome1, a);  
traguardof[a] = i_16+1;  
\_root[nome1].field = a;  
\_root[nome1].link = links[a];  
\_root[nome1].\_y = traguardo_;  
\_root[nome1].title = fields[a];  
}  
cont = a;  
}  
function spegni() {  
cont = 0;  
for (i=0; i\<n.length; i++) {  
nome = “oggetto”+i;  
\_root[nome].gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
spegni1();  
}  
function spegni1() {  
for (i=0; i\<fields.length; i++) {  
nome = “oggettonuovo”+i;  
\_root[nome].gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
}  
function chiudi() {  
cont = 0;  
for (i=0; i\<n.length; i++) {  
nome = “oggetto”+i;  
\_root[nome].gotoAndStop(1);  
traguardo\* = inizio\*;  
for (a=cont; a\<cont+n\*; a++) {  
traguardof[a] = traguardo\*;  
nome1 = “oggettonuovo”+a;  
\_root[nome1].gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
cont = a;  
}  
}

Don’t paste so much code at once, it’s very hard to read. Also, I don’t think that the onPress event is declared in the piece of code you gave here, so it’s probably inside a clip that you’re attaching/duplicating.

pom 🙂

Thanks guys…yes claudio you’re right…that’s where i got this menu from. oh my! i’m not sure if the answer is there already with the thread you’ve given. ok, i don’t want a lot of windows opening up everytime i click on a subheading. what i want is once you click on a subheading, the old window disapear being replaced by the new window. The demo i gave above probably demonstrates better if you keep clicking on the subheadings. If possible, where exatly do i need to put the actionscript? I’ll be a very happy man if i get this right. Hope that explains a lot clearer. thanks

problem solve :sure: On the submenu MC i change;

on(release){  
\_root.spegni1();  
gotoAndStop(5);  
getURL(link,“blank”);  
}

**to**

on(release){  
\_root.spegni1();  
gotoAndStop(5);  
getURL(link,"\_self");  
}

**simple as that!** 🙂

anyway thanks again guys for your help
