Screen moves like in Mountain Lion Notification center

[iOSC]

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to do something similar of what the Notification center does on Mountain Lion (or side menu in the mobile Facebook application)
My application will be really similar to the Notification center, there'll be a menu on the side of the screen which will be opened (full screen application) and I would like that the whole desktop behind this menu moves to the left (if the menu is on the right).
Maybe I should take something like a screenshot, or sth like this, but If I ask the question, that means I really don't have any idea how to do this with MMF.

Please someone could help me to do this ?
Thanks

I know what you mean and you could possibly achieve it through the use of a pseudo camera object.

Set your window size to your chosen app dimensions. eg. 800*600
Now set your frame size to your window size plus the width of your notification area. eg. notifcation area is 200pixels wide your frame size would be 1000*600.

create an active object that is hidden at the start of the frame and place it in the middle of your display area. using the abve example you would put it at X400 Y300

In your event editor create a an event of Always set screen center at 0,0 from active camera.

Now when you need to display your notification area all you do is cause the active object to slide to the left or right depending on where you put the notification area. Simply reverse the movement to return back to the display window.
