I need some help with creating a dynamic XML menu like the third one in the Flash Research section on [http://www.podlob.com](http://www.podlob.com).

I have no clue where i should start.:q:

I know how to create all the buttons and the MC’s but I don’t know what AS to use or where to put it… although I do understand actionscript. I just don’t know how this effect is achieved. :puzzled:

Also on the external XML file, is it possible to, instead of loading an html file, to load a swf? (i’m not 100% positive)

Any help is appreciated 🙂  
Thanks -
