Can you post code showing what youre trying that produces incorrect results?Im assuming youre just calling run or run_extended with the name of the first dynamic menu and not the second one.

You'd have to know the secret key that was used to encrypt them. Since you don't know that, you can't decrypt them. That's the point of encryption, to protect them from unauthorized access.
