Making home menu with submenu expand
#1
Hi Guys, can anyone help me with this?

my idea is to have the home menu on the left, vertical scrolling. I want the menus that has a SubMenu to expand.

As you can see in purple, the home menu list is coming on top of submenus. I want the them to move to bottom of the SubMenu list, like expand to bottom.

What I do is put a conditional animation in the buttons below the submenu. I use the slide animation to slide those menu options (music, programs,etc.) down to below the submenu whenever the ID of the submenu group is visible. Then have a fade animation to make the submenu appear with a delay equal to the time you have in the slide animation.

controls will be drawn in the same order as placed in the xml. so if you want to have something drawn on top just move it further down in the xml.
conditional animations will only work when using button controls, not when using a list container.

You mean expand/enlarge the image behind the sub menu? Use a zoom animation and keep the width the same.

start="x,y,w,h" end="x,y,w,h"

I still cant figure where to add that animation. do I add it to group id= 9001. or the fixedlist id=9000?

You won't be able to do what you want with a fixedlist. You might be able to do this with a grouplist with <usecontrolcoords> set to true and zoom animations on each group that contains the buttons. This is completely theoretical so YMMV.
