I just worked through this with "The Scrutinizer" -- a browser +
simulation of human vision for raising consciousness on design factors
and conducting site evaluations. The menubar is not yet in the system,
but you can try the app out at http://about.stompernet.com/scrutinizer
Here's an example:
protected var menuBarXML:XMLList = <>
<menuitem label="File">
<menuitem label="Open Location..." data="newDocument"/>
<menuitem type="separator"/>
<menuitem label="Quit" data="exit"/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Bookmarks">
<menuitem label="Add Bookmark" data="addBookmark"/>
<menuitem type="separator"/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Tools">
<menuitem label="Capture Screenshot" data="captureScreen"/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Help">
<menuitem label="Getting Started" data="getStarted"/>
<menuitem label="Top Ten Uses" data="topTen"/>
</menuitem>
</>;
var menuBarCollection = new XMLListCollection(menuBarXML);
private function fileMenuHandler(event:MenuEvent):void
{
trace("file menu handler invoked");
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
var action:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
switch(action) {
case "captureScreen":
captureScreen(event);
break;
case "exit":
break;
case "addBookmark":
addBookmark();
break;
case "getStarted":
html2.location =
"http://about.stompernet.com/scrutinizer/gettingstarted?src=help";;
break;
case "topTen":
html2.location =
"http://about.stompernet.com/scrutinizer/topten?src=help";;
break;
}
}
<mx:MenuBar id="menubar" labelField="@label"
itemClick="fileMenuHandler(event);" dataProvider="{menuBarCollection}"
></mx:MenuBar>
Hope that helps!

I am trying to build a menu that actually opens a URL or loads a SWF.
However, there is no good documentation on menu events.
Went to the Adobe site and this menu

<http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=menucontrols_061_5.html>
is nice, but we cannot figure out how to make anything load. Does
anyone know how?
thanks
