The solution was actually just to stay with the original idea of mine to keep
the dataProvider of the menu as an Array.
In the result handler, basically I need to manually create A.S. objects with
the fields I want.
--------------------------------
[Bindable]
public var arrayDP:Array = new Array();
private function getDataListener(event:ResultEvent):void {
var tempArray:Array = event.result as Array;
for (var i:int = 0; i < tempArray.length - 1; i++) {
arrayDP.push( {name:tempArray[i].name,id:tempArray[i].task_id});
}
--------------------------------
Hopefully this is an aid to someone else.
( If I'm wrong and need to go to Walmart to purchase a clue, let me know
though, but the popupbutton works now )
