The transitions will have to be done by separate movie sequences.

To make a menu loop, just have a <post> sequence which jumps back to the 
start of the menu. For example:

     <pgc entry="root">
         ... button definitions ...
         <post>
             jump menu entry root;
         </post>
     </pgc>

So you want an automatic series of steps to happen when the user clicks 
just one button?

Yes, this is doable. At the end of the chapter 7 transition above, you 
have a <post> sequence which automatically jumps to menu_2. And so on.
