In today’s article we take you through the gentle art of creating popup menus.  The menu component that we cover is also an integral part of the menubar component in Flash, so getting to grips with the content of this article is your first step in building application style menu bars just like you see across the top of your browser.  We’ll not only look at how you can build static menus for your common tasks, but how to build the menu dynamically from an XML document.

I noticed that , here and to other Allan Kent article's comments , users don't get any answer from him. Is this normal ? Does he answer privately ? He just doesn't care ? Sorry but I am new here , and I am trying to understand how does it work. Thanks

I'm looking for that file, too. I think we're supposed to create it ourseleves. Is it referenced in a previous article of his? Kinda frustrating, no?
