Hello,

I’m pretty new on actionscript,  
although I already made a nice flash-based site using it.

Now I want to make a part of my site for links, giving some information and a picture about where I’m linking to in advance.

What I actually need to do is to make a dynamic menu (in five main categories) with different websites as a sub-menu under these categories,  
on a mouseclick on one of these buttons a text-description, picture and the actual link needs to be loaded inside the frame containing dynamic text fields & a movieclip. - furthermore: It would be much easier if I could just place the button name, description, link & photo under one xml tag.

I’ve already used tutorials to make an xml menu before, which could open pages in a seperate frame in HTML - I have also made a xml-driven photo-gallery… what I need to know now is how to combine the two within the same flash project, but I have no idea where to start.

Any help is much appreciated!
