I have created the menu from the tutorial below

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml\_dropdown\_menu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu.htm)

However, I want the menu to be able to go to another frame in the movie rather than a URL. For some reason I can’t seem to make it do this.

I’ve tried setting the item element in the XML to

\<item name=“BUTTON1” action=“gotoAndPlay” variables=“LABEL1”/\>

but it doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks!
