For example, there is not much code to setup the easiest case:

// import classes
import net.kaegi.navigation.NavigationManager2;
import net.kaegi.events.NavigationEvent;

// create Navigation: parse the xml file, create and layout buttons
var navigationManager:NavigationManager2 = new NavigationManager2(this, "global_navigation_demo1.xml");

// Listen for events
navigationManager.addEventListener(NavigationEvent.MC_ACTIVATED, btnActivateHandler);
function btnActivateHandler(event:NavigationEvent) {

trace("id: "+event.params.btnID);
trace("dispatch: "+event.params.dispatch);
}

The global navigation uses TweenLite to do the movement in a vertical navigation setup, when the new buttons need space (see example Number 9 in the SWF above). I recommend using TweenLite/TweenMax for your animations when fading in and out the button groups.
