Hi Garrett,
Here is the link to the post about setting up the slider.
http://joomlabamboo.com/community-forum/slider/816-setting-up-the-slider
You are right that it doesn't reference the usual Joomla menu system, as everything that slides is already loaded and on the same page.
All ypou need to do is publish
module positions and content according to the following:
Menu 1 - Slides the main content area.
Menu 2 - Slides module 1 (if its published)
Menu 3 - Slides Module 2 (if its published)
and so on ...
The three tabs become visible when the respective advert1, advert 2 or advert 3 modules are published. Going from left to top and bottom ...
Hope this helps.
Anthony
