DirectOptionMenu

I’m practicing the Direct Gui Option Menu, but can’t seem to get a sub menu to popup.


self.ActorPick = DirectOptionMenu(text="Citizens", pos=(0.02,-10,0.7), scale=0.05, items=["item1","item2","item3", "Add"], initialitem=2, highlightColor=(0.65,0.65,0.65,1), popupMarker_pos=(0.04,0,0) );
        self.ActorPick.reparentTo(self.LeftPanel);

The second issue I’m having is re-parenting issues. I have the OptionMenu reparented to a Frame and that frame use alpha. How can I make my Option Menu appear solid (without alpha)?
