Remembering menu state? Mucho Help needed

I have a menu that has several sub levels to it. Meaning I have Root buttons and those root buttons change to sub menu options based on what was clicked on from the root level.

I.e Root menu: News, Press, Contact and Advertise

User clicks PRess:

Submenu for Press = : Current Events, Status, Projects and 1QTR

Say the user clicked on 1QTR then it load that SWF into the main movie displaying the 1QTR contents. and the menu goes away.

Good so far…? I hope.

IF the user clicks on the Launch Menu button again while on the 1OTR section I don’t want him to have to navigate back to where he was - instead I want my menu to reopen with the options:Submenu for Press = : Current Events, Status, Projects and 1QTR

It is sort of like telling flash to remember my menu location.

Can anyone help. Please could you include a test .Fla. Thank you.
