RE: [flexcoders] Bug : Popupbar when in viewstack [Flex 2.0 b2]

[Jason Hawryluk]

Because the popup is in 
a control in the viewstack this would mean walking up to the parent. For now the 
best work around I have found is
 
actionMenu.includeInLayout = 
false;tools.addChild(actionMenu); 

 
Based on my example. If 
the menu being popped up is a child of the container contained in the stack all 
works well.
 
I think that the pupup 
menu needs to be a child of it's parent.
 
I'll try your tip out 
as well, but adding a child seems logical as you may want to access it anyway 
via other means.

  Yeah I had this problem since Beta 1. I thought people would have figured 
  to just move something on their screen and put it back in place
   
  in your case... increase the height of the view stack by +1 and then 
  decrease it by ( -1 ) and should force it to refresh the whole view 
stack
   
  keep in mind though... it will only get rid of the part that the menu is 
  on

    So there seems to be 
    a bug in the view stack not redrawing it's children, or a bug in the 
    popupbutton.
     
    The dropdown menu is 
    not being cleared. The only way to avoid it is to add the menu as a child to 
    the popupbuttons parent container and don't include it in the layout. 
    
     
    See below code. Run 
    it an click the popupbutton to see the effect. Then uncomment the addchild 
    and include in layout code and run again to see the temp solution. 
    
     
    This is not view 
    stack container specific i.e. same problem on Vbox, Hbox, Controlbar, 
    ApplicationControlbar, Box, Canvas etc..
     
    On the other hand it 
    may very well be the only way to do it. If this is true update the 
    documentation to specify so.
     
    Code 
    test:
     
    <?xml version="1.0" 
    encoding="utf-8"?><mx:Application xmlns:mx=" 
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" 
    layout="absolute">
    <mx:Script> <![CDATA[   import 
    mx.controls.Menu;   import 
    mx.events.MenuEvent;   private var 
    actionMenu:Menu;
                
    private function initMenu():void 
    {                
    actionMenu = new 
    Menu();                
                    
    //actionMenu.includeInLayout = 
    false;                
    //tools.addChild(actionMenu); 
                    
                   
                    
    var actionMenuDS:Object = [{label: "Complete selected"}, {label: "Delete 
    selected"}, {label: "Export 
    list"}];        
                    
    actionMenu.width = 
    actionList.width;                
                    
    actionMenu.dataProvider = 
    actionMenuDS;                
    actionMenu.addEventListener("change", 
    handleChange);                
    actionList.popUp = 
    actionMenu;                
                
    }
                
    //Execute the action reqested and update the control 
    display            
    private function handleChange(event:MenuEvent):void 
    {                
    actionList.label = event.menuItem.label 
    ;                
    actionList.close();                
                
    }        ]]></mx:Script>
    <mx:ViewStack height="100%" id="Cont" 
    width="100%"> <mx:Canvas id="tools" width="100%" height="34" 
    borderStyle="solid"  backgroundColor="#c0c0c0">

    Any thoughts ??
