Sorry, I didn't really answer your question! :-)
The cycle bars which when you select an item, it immediately goes to the new page, do work.
By standard they seem to work where one click = do 1 cycle.
So you probably need to change MUI settings so the entire selection pops up and you can select whatever.
Though it's more of a selection tool than a menu.
For example in this site:
http://www.nzski.com/mthutt/report_snowcam.jspIn the "previous images" selection box, clicking once on the cycle/scroll gadget once makes it cycle backwards one entry at a time and immediately load the new image.
Clicking and holding the name on the box makes the entire list open up so you can select anything in the list, and the new image is immediately loaded.
This is with IB2.3, but from memory V 3.3.26 worked the same.
Hope that helps.
