My point was that if the button always says "Show Menu", why would the user expect it to hide the menu?

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? --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Usually you don't need a "hide" phase to the button.
