...or it should be... but the system wasn't designed properly, links were in the wrong places in the database, the flash parsed the xml using absolute positions. The first 3 elements were ignored, they're the main sections, the next 3 were the original bottom navs, a few more elements make up forms and other areas of the site, and the last, which I've just added sits at position 11.

The original code looks similar to this:

The best practice thing to do would be to move all the bottom nav links into one section, but as usual, time, money, client - all the usual reasons means that the work had to be done yesterday, I needed to find a quick hack.

So this is what I came up with:

Hard coding the posisions into an array allowed me to place the elements in any order I like, it's a good thing because the client wanted the new link between existing links.

Quite a neat trick I think!
