for drop menues look up: llDialog()
for 'sliding' you can do some movement of prims within a hud linkset using llSetPot(), though you'll find its not exactly ultra smooth like you might be hoping for.

both commands can be seen here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal

If you want the hud to detach and attach a new one you're out of luck, you coudl however show two huds, make one invisible (using llSetLinkAlpha, or llSetPos) and/or move it off screen (out of the viewing window of the avatar it is attached to) and then swap them when you need a change.

Sounds like a big project, you're not going to get it done for you here but you can go to the classifieds/services or products wanted forums and probably find a lot of takers.
