XML Flash. How to add new page and menu item (AS 3.0)

This tutorial will show you how to add New content page and New menu item, in Flash XML templates using AS3 (actions script 3.0)

1) Locate the menu movie clip and add new menu item:
You can use Timeline and the Scene to locate the correct movie clip
Here is the "menu page" movie clip on which you can see all the menu items:

2) Add new layer for a new menu item. You can do so, by copying the whole layer of an existing item. Then create new layer and paste the copied layer.
After that is done, look at the Scene and drag the newly created menu item so that it doesn’t cover the existing menu.
Click on the new menu item and change the Item number. From “itemButton_4” to “itemButton5” here:

You are done with Flash!
