Did you read the thread mate? I’ve answered that before.

Have a look at the code in the fla. I’ve added comments explaining what you need to do. Its at the top, in the executeAction function.

Hi HGA,  
Sorry for the last post. l’ve learn all message and now i understand where i cam put the code to load swf files.  
But i 've just a question. How can i do to erase a link on a main heading and put the link ona subheading. I take an example. I’va a main heading called “Trips”. I don’t want a link on this heading but on the subheading below “trips1”, trips2". The subheadings functions but when i erase the link on the main heading, the menu doesn’t play. Can you give some informations about this.  
Thanks for your time and your patience. 😉  
Mateo

😛  
No problem HGA, i’ve find a solution. I just wanted to erase the link on the main heading. But when i erased the code (action=“myclip.swf”), the code didn’t function. But if you keep the code and replace “myclip.swf” by link1 for example, the menu functions perfectly.  
Thanks a lot for your work. I will send you the url of my book when it will be online.  
Hasta luego.

I’ve gone through this whole thread and played around with different files and rearranging and changing the script. But I cant seem to understand how to create new variables which will read from the xml file, other than action. Could I ask that someone explain to me where to add in new variables? Please, it would help clear and defrag my brain a tonne.

Thanks so much

I’ve managed to create my own secondary and tertiary variables, after a long headache. Now just one quick question that I hope some of you with as experience can help me with. When I click on a sub I want to have it tell an instance on the main stage to do play. The instance name is controlled by the variable’s value, so far I can’t get it to work. I’m trying with…

function executeAction(action, mclip)  
{  
trace(action);  
trace(mclip);

\_root.netStream.play (action);  
\_root[“mclip”].gotoAndPlay(2); }

The trace shows that both variables hold the correct and legitimate values. The netstream does work, however the gotoAndPlay the instance on the main stage does not. Any suggestions… pls pls pls pls pls… thanks:P

This is baffeling me abit… Ive gone through all the posts and etc, and only one sort of stands out for what i need to do. I want to create a glossary type nav so when u click on an item it shows the name and glossary term in seperate fields in the flash piece.

I can get the description to show up in a field using the “\_parent.desc\_txt.text = description;” but i cant get anything else to work. The way i got it to work is by renaming the action bit in the code to description and somehow it worked… (i really have no idea what im doing).

Can someone please have a look at what ive done and tell me where ive gone wrong. Its baffeling me. This is just a testing piece so the fields are just added to the existing me.

thanks

Hi hga77, i tried to use your menu, menu is cool but how can i use the action attribute?  
E.G. I will make some link (www. [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com)) or go to another frame in movie.

I is possible?

I think it has had to be posted already, but i cant find it.

Thanks Jan
