go to a frame in a different MC. Im trying to go to a frame in my root time line.
the attribute "frame" does not work.
How can I jump to frame number 2 in my root timeline?

To hagik The "frame" attribute is found in the setup XML file of the menu. The value represents the frame number or frame label to which you want to navigate.

If you want to navigate to frame 2 of your root timeline, be sure to have the frame attribute in the XML file to the menu item you want to use for that action. Also make sure that you are calling gotoAndStop function of the _root object and not some other movie clip.

If still you don't manage to make it work, contact support here: http://www.jumpeyecomponents.com/contact.htm

AS3 Script for this? Hi~
I noticed that this solution is posted for AS2 version of the drop down menu, and was wondering if there needed to be script changes to do this with AS3? If so, could you provide me an example? I tried what is available, and it outputs the following error: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Void
Source- myEventListener.onPress = function(args:Object):Void {

AS3 sample code
Bellow is the AS3 code for that example:

stop();

import com.jumpeye.Events.DropDownMenuEvents;

accMenu.addEventListener(DropDownMenuEvents. ITEM_PRESS, pressHdl);

function pressHdl (evt: DropDownMenuEvents):void {

if (evt.item.frame !=undefined) {

gotoAndStop(evt.item.frame);
}
}

I hope this helps.

Argh... I'm still having issues getting it working... following errors:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DropDownMenuEvents.

function pressHdl (evt: DropDownMenuEvents):void {

Could you post a file? Thanks so much for your help! It is greatly appreciated!
