Best way to track a navigation status?

Question

I have build navigation systems in the past that had several
layers of
submenues. These would for example be structured like the
following,
where you would have button a 1, 2 and 3(1st level), button 2
has a
subbutton that we will call 2.1 and 2.2(2nd level), which
then have
subbuttons that would be called 2.2.1 and 2.2.2(3rd level),
etc.
In the past I would have each button set variables and then I
would
check for those with ifStatements and nested ifStatments,
which would
result in pretty complicated code structures.
I am wondering now if there is a better way(I almost assume
so) to do
this. Seems a lot more complicated then needed? How is this
done correctly?
Thanks for any commments on this!

Hi Luigi,
what I mean is how to keep track of what part of the menu is
open. For
example, what section are you at the moment, what subsection
menu is
open from that section and so forth. I want the sub menus to
open upon
clicking on the menu. Then there might be sub menues of the
submenus...
For example like this. I have the following buttons.
1
2
3
Level 2: submenu for button 1:
1.1
1.2
1.3
Level 2: submenu for button 2:
2.1
2.2
2.3
Level3: Then I could even have a sub os a sub like this:
2.1.1
2.1.2
2.1.3
Does that make sense?
Thanks for the help!
