XML Menu has no functionality

programming flash
1

Hi fellas

Im a novice in the realms of AS3 an have been trying to get some functionality out of an xml menu I produced from a tutorial. the menu looks fine and the rollovers work perfectly but I cant getthe correct script to enable the buttons to navigate to another swf or even just to gotoAndStop at a certain frame. The code im about to post has some go to frame functionality at the end simply because I was running out of ideas.

If you coud show me the loop i need to use in order to identify which menu button shoud direct where id be very grateful.

XML

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“iso-8859-1”?>
<site>
<links>
<link name=“Home” frame=“1” href=“menu.swf”/>
<link name=“Graphics” frame=“2” href=“Portfolio.swf”/>
<link name=“Flash” frame=“3” href=“menu.swf”/>
<link name=“Contact” frame=“4” href=“Portfolio.swf”/>
</links>
</site>

I previesly had id where frame is now.

Actionscript

//Imports needed for animation
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

var me = this;
//XML file path
//You can use the following path as well if you want…
var xmlPath:String = “site.xml”;

//The XML data will be inserted into this variable
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

//Array used for the tween so they won’t get garbage collected
var tweensArray:Array = new Array();
//Used later when we animate the buttons
var buttonTween:Tween;

//load
var xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load (new URLRequest(xmlPath));
xmlLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);

//This function is called when the XML file is loaded
function LoadXML (e:Event):void {

//Make sure we're not working with a null loader
if ((e.target as URLLoader) != null ) {
    //Insert the loaded data to our XML variable
    xmlData = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
    xmlData.ignoreWhitespace = true;
    //Call the function that creates the whole menu
    createMenu ();
}

}
//-------------------------------------------------
function createMenu ():void {
//This will be used to represent a menu item
var menuItem:MenuItem;
//Counter
var i:uint = 0;

//Loop through the links found in the XML file
for each (var link:XML in xmlData.links.link) {

    menuItem = new MenuItem();

    //Insert the menu text (link.@name reads the link's "name" attribute)
    menuItem.menuLabel.text = link.@name;

    //If the text is longer than the textfield, autosize so that the text 
    //is treated as left-justified text
    menuItem.menuLabel.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

    //Insert the menu button to stage
    menuItem.x = 20;
    menuItem.y = 30 + i*40;
    menuItem.alpha=.5

    //Make the button look like a button (hand cursor)
    menuItem.buttonMode = true;
    menuItem.mouseChildren = false;

    //Add event handlers (used for animating the buttons)
    menuItem.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);
    menuItem.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutHandler);
    menuItem.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
    // Here is where we listen for the 'onPress' event
    //var listener = new Object();


    addChild (menuItem);

    //Increment the menu button counter, so we know how many buttons there are
    i++;
}

}
//Function is called when the mouse is over a menu button
function mouseOverHandler (e:Event):void {

//Double the width
buttonTween = new Tween(e.target, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, 1, 1.5, 1, true);

}

//Function is called when the mouse moves out from the menu button
function mouseOutHandler (e:Event):void {

//Tween back original scale
 buttonTween = new Tween(e.target, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, e.target.scaleX, 1, 1, true);

}
//Function is called when the button is clicked
function mouseUpHandler (e:Event):void {
var frame = xmlData.links.frame;
me.useFrame(frame);
};
//trace(xmlData.links.link.@href);

function useFrame(frame) {
me.frameNumber.text = "frame "+frame;
me.gotoAndStop(fr
