Hello,  
I am trying to build an XML Driven Drop Down Menu similar to the one detailed in the tutorial in [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com). The difference is that instead of the menu item taking the user to another website I want it to launch a swf file in a movie clip. Basically, what I’m trying to do is build a training application where the user clicks a button (created from the XML file) and it starts a movie in a movie clip. Seems simple but I haven’t been able to find anything on it. All the tutorials involving XML menus have the buttons launching URL’s. Does anyone know of a tutorial or something that does something like what I’m after? Thank you
