// ANIMATION:
//
// Each menu object you create by default shows and hides its menus instantaneously.
// However you can override this behaviour with custom show/hide animation routines,
// as we have done in the "Menu Effects" section. Feel free to edit this, or delete
// this entire function if you're not using it. Basically, make functions to handle
// menuObj.showMenu() and .hideMenu(), both of which are passed menu names.
//
// Customisers: My lyr.clip() command gets passed the parameters (x1, y1, x2, y2)
// so you might want to adjust the direction etc. Oh, and I'm adding 2 to the dimensions
// to be safe due to different box models in some browsers.
// Another idea: add some if/thens to test for specific menu names...?

  // with dropshadows. If you're going to use it, make sure all your alpha values for a given
