In your code, you have a click handler bound to a MenuEvent function. There is a MenuEvent event object as well. There can be only one. Remove the click handler if you simply want to respond to the itemClick event, which has its own handler. > About the function name- I am following my company's C# standard which has > uppercase names for functions since my company does not have a Flex/AS3 > coding standard. What is the convention you refer to called? I don't know if it has a name, other than "the convention followed by most AS3, Java and C# programmers". Since it's a convention, I'm not going to waste my time telling you it's the right way to do things, or that you're doing things the wrong way, but in my own opinion it does make things easier to follow. > But none of your comments seem to get at my real problem, I want to access > the label the user clicks on when they use the menu bar, but I can't use it > because.... why? My installation is corrupt? I don't understand... Again, I'm pretty certain that the cause of your problem is the click handler attached to your MenuBar.
