Submenu HitTest issue

1

I’m trying to make a submenu using an external xml file. It loads but I can’t make a submenu appearing while I’m on the main menu one.

here’s my code:

var submenu = new XML();
submenu.ignoreWhite = true;
submenu.load(_root.chemin+“menu2.xml”);

submenu.onLoad = function() {
genererSousMenu(this, 1200, 25, 122, 75, 15, “menuItem”);
};

function genererSousMenu(xml, movW, mcH, mcW, xpos, ypos) {

var xMove = 122; 
var yMove = 135;
var xpos = 62;
var ypos = 310;
var startPos = xpos; // start position 
var racine = xml.firstChild;
var nb_elements = racine.childNodes.length;

for(a=0; a<nb_elements; a++)
{
    var main = racine.childNodes[a].attributes;
    var subs = racine.childNodes[a].childNodes;

    // On va chercher main MC etant les options du menu principal
    var item = _root.attachMovie("menuItem", "item"+a, a);
    item.nom_txt.text = main.id;
    // Submenu things begins...
    var subContain = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("subContain"+a, a+1000);

    // Submenu
    for(z=0; z<subs.length; z++)
    {    
        attribs = subs[z].attributes;
         sub = subContain.attachMovie( "submenuItem", "sub"+z, z+100);
        //trace("sub "+attribs.id);
        sub.nom_txt.text = attribs.id;
        //trace("mcHx= "+mcH);
        sub._y = (mcH*z)+mcH;
        //trace("mcH: " +(mcH*z)+mcH);
         sub.itemUrl = attribs.theURL;
         
        sub.onRollOver = function() {
            this.gotoAndStop(2);
        }
        sub.onRollOut = function() {
            this.gotoAndStop(1);
        }
          sub.onRelease = function()
        {
            getURL(this.itemUrl, "_blank");
         }
      } //END OF FOR B LOOP
    
    _root["subContain"+a]._visible = false;
    _root["subContain"+a]._x = xpos;
    //trace("Ypos:"+ypos);
    _root["subContain"+a]._y = 85; //ypos;
    item.num = a;
   _root["item"+a].box.subsL = subs.length;
   
   _root["item"+a].box.onRollOver = function()
       {
        //trace("Height: " + (this.subsL*mcH)+mcH+8);
          this._height = (this.subsL*mcH)+mcH+8;
       }
     _root["item"+a].onMouseMove = function()
       {
    //Reference variables to the mouse coords
      var mY = _root._ymouse;
      var mX = _root._xmouse;
    //trace("mX:"+mX +"mY:"+mY);

  //Local reference to whether the subContain is hit or not
     this.subHit = _root["subContain"+this.num].hitTest(mX, mY);
  
  //Local reference to whether the box is hit or not
  this.itemHit = this.box.hitTest(mX, mY);
  // Cas ou la souris est sur un des boutons, on ouvre sub menu
  if(this.itemHit == true)
  {
     _root["subContain"+this.num]._visible = true;
     
  } else {
     _root["subContain"+this.num]._visible = false;
  
  //Snaps our hitbox back to the size of just the main item.
     this.box._height = mcH;
  }
}

item._x = xpos; //positioning of the subs
   item._y = ypos;
// increments the xposition of our whole menu by xmove
   xpos += xMove;

//simple if test to see if we will be off the screen
if(xpos >= movW-mcW/2)
{
       //increments our whole menu's _y by ymove
    ypos += yMove;
       //resets our xpos
    xpos = startPos;
 }

} //END OF FOR A LOOP
