Duplicate Movie Clip in a Duplicated Movie Clip...

[TommyHilfiger webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I'm making a Flash Navigation Bar (menu) that could be freely customized by people just through a text file.
The problem is that my submenus won't duplicate properly.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 Pro, on Windows XP pro.
I attached the file.
thanks in advance.

here's your file with the main menu corrected. use a similar method to ensure your data is loaded before using it. in fact, i would recommend using all the data in the onData event on the main timeline instead of scattering it throughout your movie.

Thanks a lot for your fast reply. :)
but unfortunetly there's still the same problem.
i tried to apply the changes you made for the main menu to the submenus but it still doesn't work.
I ll be more specific this time :)

Alright. so i thought about making a menu script that could be customize by any users just throught a .txt file.
With DuplicateMovieClip() and a for loop function which would duplicate a movieclip.
the variable Nb_Gmenu is loaded from an info.txt. so that the user can specify how many Main Menu they want. everything work alright with this.

for (count=2; count<Nb_Gmenu; count++) {
mcount = count-1;
_root.Gmenu1.duplicateMovieClip("Gmenu"+count, count);
_root["Gmenu"+count]._y = _root["Gmenu"+mcount]._y+_root["Gmenu"+mcount]._height;
_root["Gmenu"+count].Gmenutxt = eval("Gmenutxt"+count);
_root["Gmenu"+count]._width = _root["Gmenu"+count].Gmenutxt.length*6.7;
_root["Gmenu"+count]._x = _root["Gmenu"+count].Gmenutxt.length*6.7/2;
}

In this MovieClip that is Duplicated there is an other MovieClip which i call Submenu.

in the info.txt:
&Gmenutxt1=Home page&
&Gmenutxt2=Tutorials&

eval("Gmenutxt"+count); so that the Duplicated MovieClip has a button that says "home page", and an other one just below that says "Tutorials"

I don't understand why the submenus won't expand as i want... :( Only one lines does.
