XML Drop down menu help!

Hi eveyone.
I am trying to build a website that uses the XML menu in kirupa tutorials.
However, I am trying to customise it but I am having problems trying to solve this impossible task! :puzzled:

Basically, instead of it being a drop down menu, I am trying to make the menu work on Click instead on RollOver. When the user clicks “on” a link, the link will keep an on state. And when the user clicks on the sub link, that sub link will keep an “on” state.

However, when the user selects a different menu item on the main level, the other “on” states will turn off. So basically I am trying to set up perhaps a variable that remembers which menu item is on and loops through the same level and automacally switches the other items off.
Is that confusing???

I AM!!! Can anyone help me solve this?? Is it even possible?
I have attached my fla and xml file.

If any gurus can help I would be sooo appreciative!
