For anybody who wishes to have more than one sliding menu on the same flash file:
I managed to source another tutorial that has a similar technique but the method is slightly different. As long as the instance names are different for the two menus you can have two simultaneously parallel to each other.
Check this site, download the File and have a go:

PS. Before I get a bollocking about a second post I posted another message instead of replying to my previous one because I realised that people might not bother to look and this might help somebody who has the same problem that I did. Good day to all
