Need a little guidance on adding a dynamic menu

I need a little guidance on adding a dynamic menu. I imported an image as a control and have it in a navar. I'd like to make it a dynamic menu with perhaps 3 or 4 items under it.

Not exactly sure what you are looking for but take a look at this:

Hey Simon. Looking for something like this (see attached image). I imported an image as a control to start with. By the way this is a desktop app.

Hi,
it looks like the example I gave ... or maybe I'm misunderstanding?
An image with an animated dropdown?? No?

Yup! Just downloaded the example in that thread! That definitely looks like what I was after. Thank you!

There is some code in there that should be better.
I used "hard" numbers e.g. tLeft,137 which isn't really good coding.
It should have something like "the bottom of me" so that the number of dropdown buttons doesn't matter. I think any time you can use topLeft, bottom, right etc. you should. I think it's what they call "Robust code", move it anywhere and it still performs the same.
If you do figure out a robust version would you care to post it?

At any rate, glad it helps.

I sure will. Thanks again.

Not quite sliding, but I do have it so you can move it around the screen. I'm sure my code is terrible (what little there is). lol
Maybe we can get it sliding. I tried to do a dissolve just to make it more noticeable, but it's not working.

see attachment.

Here's the latest, got the slide working too

If anyone improves it please post the update in this thread. Thanks.

Here's another one. Click on the submenus.
