Did you make up that XML dialect yourself?

Hi!No, a friend sent me a template and it came with this code in the xml files.It creates a subpage with no problem with <page> <subMenu> <subPage> <?> What comes next? I already tried anything and nothing happens. It doesn't create a subpage inside of subpage. Maybe the solution is in AS code.TKS.

Well, we don't how the script works. Maybe you want to post it?

You might want to ask you friend for "documentation". You know, the thing with the instructions and everything...
