Hi, I know exactly what you are referring to your wanting a breakdown between the category and sub-menus for each area of content. I had to adopt the older scene graph technology vs. the new methods. Now there are some major benefits that I enjoy the most, DIRECT feed for images built into to the channel as pkg directory vs. server feed.
How that works is really simple. One of the feeds is written in the package as the category and when clicking the sub-menu it activates the XML internal again ON the users BOX and not waiting on server response. This will reduce server load times and costs in bandwidth.
Download and modify for your needs.
See for yourself I have included the example and for those of you wanting the file to use for own abilities I'll include the download link from Onedrive.
