There are a few different implementations already available... searching with "tree" at http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/flash will pull them up. Two of these are implemented as Smart Clips, which you just drop into your own movie and parameterize. Both pull XML-formatted data for menu items. (NB: The Macromedia Exchange for Flash can be quite slow right now... work is being done on migrating it to, ah, a zippier application server.... ;-) jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Tech Support, San Francisco CA US Search technotes: http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ Offlist email risks capture by the spam filters.
