Ok this has got me a bit stumped.  
Im trying to make a naviagation menu that is based on two columns, the navigation would be done through 4 buttons which would allow the user to move up, down, left and right through the menu.  
Ive attached a pic of the layout im trying to make - i just cant for the life of me figure out where to start with this one.  
Anyone know of a way to tackle this?

edit: Just a thought - i may not have made it clear, essentialy it is supposed to be 4 way navigation, currently i have 5 variables for each button saying what is to the left, right, up, down of it and the name of the current button.  
The 4-way navigation buttons use these variables to select the items.

Its such a horrid way of doing it!
