Hi,

I am a novice at actionscript. I was wondering if someone could help me by telling me how you would create a static XML read menu list, which is hyperlinked. Then when you click the hyperlinks it reads in a XML file which then displays a image/swf in your flash movie (I am trying to make a portfolio but am getting nowhere HELP! )

I have had a look at other examples but find myself getting confused. I think I need it to be like an idiots guide, no offence to myself of course.

Thanks, much appreciated.
