XML Nav bar

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's possible to do an expand and navigate using the prepackaged actionscript for the Menu.  But if you want, you can create a separate expanding container for the subs, like:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<NAV main_onColor="#000000" main_offColor="#ff6600" sub_onColor="#000000" sub_offColor="#666666" navWidth="150" fadeTime="0" lineWidth="150" main_y_padding="4" sub_y_padding="2" sub_indent="10">
   <MAIN text="HOME" URL="home.html" expand="true" ></MAIN>
   <MAIN text="About" expand="true">
      <SUB text="Current State" URL="currentstate.html"></SUB>
      <SUB text="Mission" URL="mission.html"></SUB>
       <SUB text="Who We Are" URL="whoweare.html"></SUB>
      <SUB text="Background" URL="background.html"></SUB>
        <SUB text="Leadership" URL="leadership.html"></SUB>
      <SUB text="World Policy Philosophy" URL="worldpophil.html"></SUB>
   </MAIN>
   <MAIN text="Some Other Category" URL="mycategory.html"></MAIN>
</NAV>

etc.

I TRIED that Mike but it didn't show my sub menu. It only showed the home. Thanks anyway.

Something is strange here, because it should have shown a "Home" and an "About".  You click on home, it goes home, you click on About and it epands to show the Subs for About...I did notice a small mistake in my code. This tag:
   <MAIN text="HOME" URL="home.html" expand="true" ></MAIN>
should have been like:
   <MAIN text="HOME" URL="home.html" ></MAIN>

Like so:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<NAV main_onColor="#000000" main_offColor="#ff6600" sub_onColor="#000000" sub_offColor="#666666" navWidth="150" fadeTime="0" lineWidth="150" main_y_padding="4" sub_y_padding="2" sub_indent="10">
   <MAIN text="HOME" URL="home.html" ></MAIN>
   <MAIN text="About" expand="true">
      <SUB text="Current State" URL="currentstate.html"></SUB>
      <SUB text="Mission" URL="mission.html"></SUB>
      <SUB text="Who We Are" URL="whoweare.html"></SUB>
      <SUB text="Background" URL="background.html"></SUB>
      <SUB text="Leadership" URL="leadership.html"></SUB>
      <SUB text="World Policy Philosophy" URL="worldpophil.html"></SUB>
   </MAIN>
   <MAIN text="Some Other Category" URL="mycategory.html"></MAIN>
</NAV>

The problem is you're wanting a click on Home to both navigate to another page, and expand the category, which are mutually exclusive actions.

I don't think this will work. I want the home to go to the home page and expand at the same time.

Right, but that doesn't make sense, does it?  The problem is you're wanting a click on Home to both navigate to another page, and expand the category, which are mutually exclusive actions.   If you did this in straight HTML, you can have both an onclick and an href on an anchor tag.  The onclick is executed first, then the page navigates...which loses the original result of the onclick.  

You'd somehow need to maintain the state of the menu (with a query string, probably) so that when you navigate to the home page, your menu is then shown expanded.   I've seen this done with frames (because you're actually navigating a separate frame, not the one with the menu).

I will give you the points if you tell me what is the code in straight HTML?
