Hi there. Something to put the collective Kirupian Brain to:

I’d like to save some space using a navigation system similar to this:

Is there any way to tween this stuff, or is it better done with AS - if yes, I’d love to stay away from XML if possible - any ideas?

Thanks!

Maybe I should be more specific - I’ve looked at lots of tutorials for dynamic menus, but what I’d like to do is have a whole movieclip drop down, instead of just dynamically generated buttons…does that make sense? How shall I tell my menu to expand and collapse based on the size of the movie clips I’m attaching? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
