Sliding menu problems HELP!

I am trying to create a sliding menu in Flash 8 and am not very adept at
actionscripting yet. I have been watching all the tutorials i can find and
reading them as well. I have this file uploaded here :
http://www.geocities.com/zflategraff/flash.swf

Basically what im trying to do is have the menu hidden behind the main whote
area andd have only the tab showing. the tab has an open/close button on it and
thats what i want it to be able to do is when the user clicks on it and it is
hidden, it slides out. When it is out and is clicked it slides back.

I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me!

turn the menu into a movieClip- put it on a layer beneath the main interface-
use actionscript to tween it to x/y position so it's behind the main interface
onRelease of your open/close button.

-you'll need to use an onEnterFrame action to show/hide a mask over it so that
your buttons will still work inside the movieClip.
