Great Menu!!! How do you add bold or italics to individual words?
Can you use gotoAndStop() with this menu?
Is there a way to have the first menu item open when loaded showing the secondary links for the first primary?
Nice menu, thanks!

Thanks for the menu! How can I set the secondary buttons to go to a label on my main timeline? I’ve placed this into my flash project and want to use it to navigate the flash file locally.
In the menu file, I have the href tag as “lHome” which is a label on the main timeline. I tried changing the private function gotoURL() to be the gotoAndPlay (xml.@href). But I can’t even get the xml.@href to trace. Do I need to reference the label on the timeline in a different way? Please advise

You’ve got the right idea of where the code needs to go, but the code you’re saying you’re putting in there would try to make the button movieclip change frames, not your root timeline. You’d need to do try (parent.parent as MovieClip).gotoAndPlay(blah blah); to make sure you’re actually accessing the object you’re trying to change frames in.
That’s not tested code, and in the primary button script you’d have to go up one parent less than in the code for the secondary buttons, but the jist of the advice is to make sure you’re accessing the right object, not trying to change the frame of the button

Unfortunately no. The nature of that would mean some 2 way communication between wherever you’re implementing the menu and the menu itself. That means the menu would have to know it’s context before it could do that. Since it’s a micro-stock item that is used in countless different contexts it would be pretty much impossible to create a working system that would do that in all or even most situations. That’s something a programmer would have to implement specific to your usage.
