Hi guys and gals  
Just learning XML here for menu development…  
I went through the turorial here: color=Blue[/color]  
and that worked fine and was extremely helpful!

But with the following XML lines:  
[color=Blue]\<item name=“BBakken” action=“gotoURL” variables=“[http://www.link.no](http://www.link.no)”/\> [/color]

…and some of the corresponding flash code:  
[color=Blue]Actions = Object();  
Actions.gotoURL = function(urlVar){  
getURL(urlVar, “\_blank”);  
[/color]  
Is it possible to send a ‘gotoAndPlay’ action from the XML file and how would it be done?

cheers
