Tracy, my original message ( flexcoders message 149740 <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/149740> ) showed all the code I thought to be pertinent.
I do think, though, that the problem might lie with the initialization of one or both of the functions in new mxml component, initCollections () or menuHandler(event:MenuEvent). When all the code was in my main.mxml it ran fine. When I placed the menubar code in its' own mxml component file and left the calls to initCollections() and menuHandler() in my creationComplete() function of my main.mxml file I received an 1080:Call to a possibly undefined function. When I commented these lines out and they were "called"(??) in the mxml component file I received a 1046 Error: Type was not found or was not a compile time constant. I am still very new at this. Any suggested reading would be greatly appreciated. I know I am bound to be committing some fundamental error. many thanks, Tex --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <tr...@...> wrote: > > You haven't shown us enough code to tell what is wrong.
