In this special case I think you just have to call $emnu->get() instead 
of $menu->show().

More general information:
If you have a method that echoes something directly, you can't call it 
in the assign statement. Instad, you can use output buffering to 
capture the code:

ob_start();
$theclass->printing_method();
$text = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$page->assign("menu", $text);
