this is a simple question (I am just learning), the “xml drop down menu tutorial” just sort of assumed everyone would know how to do it but…how do I create an action object that simply navigates the content of the site rather than opening links or creating messages. I tried to tell the root to go to a frame num by making a go to frame action like this:

[SIZE=2][COLOR=black] Actions.gotofrm = function(frmVar){  
\_root.gotoAndStop(frmVar);  
}; [/COLOR]

[/SIZE][SIZE=2]the xml was  
\<item name=“contact info” action=“gotofrm” variables=“10”/\>  
[/SIZE] but it didnt work…  
I would also like to know how to create a loadMovie action…

any help wpuld be nice and very appreciated:)  
thanks all,  
Jack
