Possible for xml menu go to specific frame?

1

is it possible for an xml menu to go to a specific frame within the swf? Like a regular button would

let me know…thanks guys!

(im don’t necessarily need code…i just want to know if this is common or possible.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible, if you set up your XML sort of like this…


<button text="blah" gotothisframe="5">

Then all you’d have to do it

button1.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(....guide to node.attributes.gotothisframe)
}

Hope this helped.

ok so heres what i have…

my xml for my menu is setup like this…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<menu buttonsSpacing="25" >    
    <item title="Portfolio" itemColor="0xFFFFFF" itemRollOverColor="0x0EF0C0">
        <subitem title="portraits" link ="http://www.ffiles.com/users/NoGrids" />
        <subitem title="conceptual" link ="http://www.ffiles.com/users/NoGrids" />
        <subitem title="art" link ="http://www.ffiles.com/users/NoGrids" />
        <subitem title="self" link ="http://www.ffiles.com/users/NoGrids" />
    </item>
</menu>

Instead of them linking to outside links/pages. I need them to target a specific movieclip within the swf and go to a specific frame…possible?

also heres the key btn AS…how do i modify this to match up weith the xml?

        //call function when on release
        mc.onRelease = function(){
            //trace(this);
            if(this.link != "" && this.link != " " && this.link != undefined){
                getURL(this.link,"_blank");
            }
        }
