Xml drop down menu

1

I’m trying to create a drop down menu similar to this
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu.htm

but instead of a vertical menu, i want to create a menu that is horizontal.

when i try this, I cant get the submenu to be in the center. please see the attached image.

any ideas?

thanks
Wraj.
