Is there any way of opening the menu panel using an objec trigger?

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way of opening the menu panel or the glossary as a trigger on a button so I do not need to rely on the player skin button?

For example I have downloaded one of the example templates that has the player skin as a thin border which is great as I do not wish to use the standard player skin as it has a thick grey border at the bottom. I would like to have buttons in the master template that can open the default menu and glossary panels so I can effectively have my own player skin using the slide master to create my own custom buttons, is this possible?

Thanks

M
