menuItem = this.firstChild.childNodes;  
for (var i=0; i\<menuItem.length; i++) {  
item = \_root.attachMovie(“itemClip”, “itemClip” + i, i);  
item.\_x = 7;  
item.\_y = 17_i;  
item.itemLabel.text = menuItem_.attributes.name;  
item.myUrl = menuItem\*.attributes.url;  
item.onRelease = function() {  
getURL(this.myUrl,"\_blank");  
}  
}  
}  
menuXml.load(“MenuItems.xml”);
