Xml dropdown menu AS issues

1

I have created a menu navigation (like a drop down). If a user clicks on mainmenu_mc, all the subitems will display as a menu…and when the user clicks on the submenu, it should display a image (in _level0.spotlight). Everything works fine.But, there is couple of issues…

issue 1:

When I click on the main menu,the submenu displays, it is not resetting the count (for example: if mainmenu_item1 has 3 submenus, it will display 3 submenus with all submenutext(text1a,1b,1c), if mainmenu_item2 has 2 submenus,it is displaying 3 submenus with text 2a,2b and 1c.

issue 2:
it is not displaying the image in spotlight.if i am trying to display as a link…it displays…but not as a image…

_level0.nav_mc.mainmenu_item is a instance of a mainmenu_mc (movieclip)
