Hi all,

Little bit confused here, surfing the flash forums and I came up with this xml-file to start of my flash-menu:

```auto

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<menu>
	<mainNav name="A" />
		<subNav name="a1" link="" />
		<subNav name="a2" link="" />
		<subNav name="a3" link="" />
	<mainNav name="B" />
		<subNav name="b1" link="" />
		<subNav name="b2" link="" />
		<subNav name="b3" link="" />
		<subNav name="b4" link="" />
</menu>

```

But I also notice xml formats with the names as seperate nodes, so I guess it would be something like

```auto

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<menu>
	<mainNav> 
		<navName>A</navName>
		<subNav>
		<subNavName>a1</subNavName>
		<link>...</link>	
		</subNav>
		<subNav>
		<subNavName>a2</subNavName>
		<link>...</link>	
		</subNav>
		<subNav>
		<subNavName>FuLa Company</subNavName>
		<link>...</link>	
		</subNav>
		
	</mainNav>

```
