You don't need the children choices. The childrenChoices are only used if
session.theArrayOfTitles evaluates to a single string. Then the string is used
as the key to the children choices dictionary.
If theArrayOfTitles evaluates to an array, then it is as if you specified the
array directly
children = ("PetProjects", "Broadcast", "Exploratory");
Now your only problem is you need to know all the navigation items to put into
your plist.
If that isn't the case, then try it to see if/where it crashes. :-) You may be
able to subclass to fix that or patch wonder.
