Sliding Menus And Ui

Try the easing object perhaps? (see easing.mfa in examples folder)

I used the Layer object to make a sliding menu in my game. Depending on the complexity you'll need a few/several different layers, and I recommend keeping track of them on a separate Active object via flags, but otherwise it works pretty great.

You can do it very simple and undramatic with the physics engine. Basically you make a pinwall (active object - physics background movement) and all your elements (textbox, string, counter, active, etc) you set to "physics static movement" and glue them with an revolute joint to your pinwall. Than you disable things like friction, gravity, object rotation, joint rotation, etc on the objects movement or the physics engine itself. Now you can move you pinwall around and everything else follows. But keep in mind if you use something like the easing or moveTo object you cannot move the pinwall directly with this objects or it will break the joints, you have to make another object (normal static) that you move around and your pinwall always follows that object.
