need help with making a menu in profile

I have written a few different tabs in CB and released 3 different plugins.

The problem i am having is delaring a menu item.

[code:1]$mi = array();
$mi["_UE_MENU_STATUS"]["Score Count" ]["Played"]=null;
$this->addMenu( array( "position" => "menuList" ,
"arrayPos" => $mi ,
"caption" => $items[0],
"url" => "index.php?option=com_puarcade" ,
"target" => "" ,
"img" => "" ,
"alt" => "" ,
"tooltip" => "Number of scores achieved in the arcade"«») );
[/code:1]

That code looks like it should work.

Shoud this be in a specific funtion or class?????

Can someone explain the $mi setup? what exactly do i need to feed in to that array? in what order? The api does NOT explain this command very much.

Thank you

do i need to publish a menu plugin to a certain place?

can a plugin have both a tab AND a menu item?

can someone PLEASE help me? all i want to do is make software compatable with your software... is that a bad thing? to be punished and ignored?

do i have to PAY to get help with the api?

cmon folks, OBVIOUSLY somebody knows how to do it!

even just updating the api to maybe explain the variables plugged into the $mi array?

PLEASE!!!
