Thanks, Tim. I was hoping for something more straightforward (the PopUpMenuButton.itemClick description says "Dispatched when a user selects an item from the pop-up menu"; this is exactly what I want--or rather would be, if it did what is documented), but this will do.

You can use that to open the menu: <mx:PopUpButton id="myPopupButton" creationComplete="initMyPopupButtonMenu() " click="{ myPopupButton.open() }"/> The change event is the one that you use when a menu item is selected: private function initMyPopupButtonMenu():void { myMenu = new List(); var myMenuItemRenderer:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(myItemRenderer); myMenuItemRenderer.properties = { labelField: "myField" }; myMenu.itemRenderer = myMenuItemRenderer; myMenu.dataProvider = myDataProvider; myMenu.addEventListener("change", myMenuChangeHandler); myPopupButton.popUp = myMenu; } -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Maciek Sakrejda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've set PopUpMenuButton.openAlways = true and it looks like the > PopUpMenuButton itemClick event is firing even when I click on the main > button (with the first item as the "selected" menu item).
