    Flash - XML menu (macromedia FlashMX dropdown menu help)

    Hi,

    I am using the Flash-XML menu template that comes in built with Macromedia Flash MX.
    to acces this .fla
    go to File---->New from Template--->menus----->menu_dropdown


    I am not much of a programer or an expert action script expert. I do know the basics of action script and a little bit of XML.


    The problem with this menu is that every link opens in a new window.

    I want certain links to open on a specified level in the same .swf or maybe in a blank mc.
    but its not happening.

    here is the XML file
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Code:
    <NAV main_onColor="#000000" main_offColor="#ff0000" sub_onColor="#000000" sub_offColor="#666666" navWidth="150" fadeTime="0" lineWidth="150" main_y_padding="4" sub_y_padding="2" sub_indent="10">
    
    <MAIN text="learning test" expand="true" action="loadMovie" url="Ch1.swf" target="_root.container">
    
    <SUB text="Load movie" action="loadMovie" url="Ch1.swf" target="_root.container"></SUB>
    
    <SUB text="Ribbon chair, by Pierre Paulin" URL="http://www.formandfunctiondesign.com/pages/furniture/e192furn.html" target="_blank"></SUB>
    </MAIN>
    
    // I tried to modify this part but it didnt work 
    
    <MAIN text="Lighting" expand="false" action="loadMovieNum" url="Ch1.swf" Level="3">
    <SUB text="target self" action="loadMovieNum" url="Ch1.swf" target="_self"></SUB>
    <SUB URL="http://www.design70.com/?page=db/show1&context=products&id=42" text="Nesso lamp, orange" target="_blank"></SUB>
