You can set the menu items via an array and disable the current button that is pressed.
if you want you can set the URLS in an array and have the selected button pull the URL from your array, right now it’s not being set to do that.

but it would go something like this.

var links:Array = new Array(“link1″,”link2″,”link3″);
then in setNav Function change the URLRequest to
navigateToURL (new URLRequest(links[thisOne]),”_blank”);
