I think there should be a way to use anonymous functions, but in in this
case anonymous function would be relatively inefficient.
Instead I would try to map the label to the id. When an item is selected
you can determine the label which determines the id.
So something like this:
var mapping:Object = new Object();
function addMyContextMenuItem(label:String, id:String):void {
// called by loop
mapping[label] = id;
var menuItem = new ContextMenuItem(label);
menuItem.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT
,contextMenuListner);
contextMenu.builtInItems.push(menuItem)
}
function contextMenuListner(event:ContextMenuEvent):void {
var id:String = mapping[event.target.caption];
// continue processing
}

Hi All,
I'm in a situation where I need to dynamically add a number of items
from an array to a ContextMenu.
Each menu item has a localized label and an id. All ContextMenuItem(s)
point to the same function as they are added in a loop.
Once in the function ContextMenuItem has only the label - how do I
preserve the id? The ContextMenuItem is final so extending it is not an
option, I tried to redirect through an anonymous inlined function but
that got me nowhere.
Anyone bumped into this before?
Regards,
Sebastian
PS: I do have a workaround - a very ugly one though - locally key on
the label to get the id..
