Vivek,
The 'dropBtn_txt.text = myName' is only a place holder to hold the name
of the subMenu button being clicked into an off stage text field. The
'showcase.swf' uses this value together with the content of another off
stage field (thisName) to build a path to external data it uses to build
the relevant display
I have a number of menu items created dynamically which, when clicked
create a dropdDown menu with a range of items depending on the external
data. 'thisName' is the label of the menu item that, when clicked,
creates the dropDown menu and myName is the label of the dropDown button.
This is as clear as I can make it.
Because I have to load and unload things while ate the same times having
to sert and unset booleans, I have gone trhough teh code with as fine a
toothcomb as my brain can master but here i am, tearing off the last of
teh few hairs remaining on the top of my head.
I have bebugged the whole lot as I was building it up but strange thing,
a trace inserted just after the dropBtn_txt.text = myName, does not
output anything and my brian is so very dead at the moment (looooong day)

Cedric, sorry I think I have sent my ealier reply to your personal email
address, my apologies
here is the code I use:
dropBtn.onPress = function() {
//make the showContainer_mc visible
showContainer_mc._visible = true;
dropBtn_txt.text = myName; *// what is the use of this step? Below you
are using “myName” what is the value of myName?*
//trace(thisName);
if (myName == "sea bounty" && thisName == "brand development") {
showContainer_mc.loadMovie("SeaBounty.swf"); // this call
works, sgtrtangely enough
} else {
showContainer_mc.loadMovie("showcase.swf"); // this one is
the one that does not work
}
loaded = true;
removeDropMenu();
};
The DropBtn are created dynamically and i make the fucntion call from
the constructor.
Cheers
JohnT
