> The Menu component is hardcoded to have its origin at the top left corner. This leads to two issues:
> 1) In order to use a Menu with its origin at the top right corner, its width needs to be known in order to position the top left corner. In order to know the width, the menu must be displayed. The workaround for this is to "display" the menu far off the visible screen, determine its width, hide it, and then display it in the desired location. Very clumsy - there should be a built-in way of achieving this.
> 2) The 'show' function embeds within it a tween that runs from top left to bottom right. This is appropriate only when the menu is rendered with the origin at the top left corner. When attempting to use an origin at the top right, this tween  just looks wrong. There is no workaround for this, since the code for the tween is buried in the midst of the 'show' function.
