I did this tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml\_dropdown\_menu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu.htm)

which is very good but i’m trying to get the navigation to load external .swfs  
into the same swf file. I created this in the actionscript but i’m not sure its correct

**Actions.loadMovieNum = function(loadVar){**  
**loadMovieNum(loadVar,"\_self");**  
**};**

and added this to the xml file thinking it could insert the AS script (this is in the XML)  
**\<item name=“forums” action=“loadMov” variables=“about.swf”,“level1”,“GET”";/\>**

I know something wrong maybe someone can point me in the right direction  
thanks.
