Try calling your setUpMenuBar() method on the MenuBar's creationComplete event and add menuBarRef.validateNow() after setting the dataProvider property. validateNow() forces the menuBar to do an invalidation pass, which calls the MenuBar's commitProperties method which is necessary to get the data wired up to the MenuBar correctly.

Now I can't bind the dataProvider anymore in the menuBar's mxml tag. So I tried something like this... [Bindable] private var menuBarCollection:XMLListCollection; private function setUpMenuBar(event:Event):void{ menuBarCollection = new XMLListCollection(menubarList); menuBarRef.dataProvider = menuBarCollection; } The function is called on the MenuBar's Initialize event and menuBarList is a XMLList, that was working fine before. I also tried to use other events as well as things like invalidateNow() after I set the dataProvider, but the MenuBar doesn't get any items!? Any ideas would be appreciated.
