Help combining two Scripts

Hi,

I have one script that creates a hovering layer effect, and another that allows a layer to overlay a windowed control such as a select box. I'm having trouble combining the two. Below, I will attach the two scripts and a third script in which I tried combining the two. I know this is a tough one so help is very much appreciated.
