Thanks.

1. Make each menu command or menu leaf a Layer.
2. Use Absolute Positioning to line up everything as you
want.
3. Make all the menu command layers initially visible,
and all the menu leaves initially invisible.
4. For exam menu command, add Behaviors to:
a. Make its leaf visible.
b. Make all other leaves invisible.

Jim,
We've been through this before - don't use layers for the menu commands. To
make a single level menu in FP is a piece of cake (it even works in NN4 -
imagine that!)
http://www.roksteady.net/fpmenu/
To make a multi level menu can be done with FP behaviours but its more work
than I'd want to do - better to go the script route.

Note the script is quite small - one day I might write up a tutorial.....

There are problems and trade-offs either way.
