Hi Alex,
I think that will not work either. If i click on the same button,
first the MENU_HIDE will be called then the click listener will be
called. If i change the flag on MENU_HIDE, the click listener will
again show the menu. Let me show you the code i used:
private function displayMenu(event:MouseEvent):void {
if(!menu) {
menu= Menu.createMenu(this,settingsMenuData);
menu.addEventListener(MenuEvent.MENU_HIDE, onMenuHide);
}
if(!isMenuShowing) {
menu.show(event.currentTarget.x, event.currentTarget.y);
}
}
private function onMenuHide(event:MenuEvent):void {
isMenuShowing = false;
}
did i miss something?
