I have now changed my menu control to use <Items> listed in the control. It still does not display them dyamiclly as flyout. I only get empty white boxes but they will display if I set the static level high enough to display them. I have read of some others with a very similar issue. I have included my control source if anyone has a suggestion

</div>I am using the menu control bringing data from the XML site map. It works fine in static mode and shows my 2 levels. When I change the static level to 1, it only shows the first level like it is suppose and the second level appears to fly out but I get a white retangular box with no menu items. Since it works in Static mode I believe it is a setting I must set. I have changed both font colors and back-colors but still get empty white boxs that seem to match the size of my sub menus. I can't figure out what I need to set to show the menu items. Any sugguestions would be appreciated. I am sure its pretty basic but I don't know the answer.
Thanks in advance.
This is my site map.
