Thank you,  that is the solution I cam up with also.  It's nice to know that this is not the intended behavior, and that hopefully some day I can go back to static embedded images.  I use them very successfully for button icons.

Hmmm – well our Embed expert says that you can make the variable for the embedded asset static, but that seems to be your problem. I'll file a bug on your behalf, but for now, don't make exitOn static and the icon should show up.

 
Let me know if it doesn't –

I've been racking my brain trying to get icons in the menu bar.  I think I'm doing exactly what the docs say but I cannot get any icon to render.  The label and actions work perfectly but the icon does not show up.  The icon is embedding properly as I can see it in the "icon" property of a button in the same file.  I've also tried putting the path to the icon file in the xml, no joy.


 

My Menu XML Is:

<menu>

    <menuitem label="File">        <menuitem label="Open" data="" />        <menuitem type="separator" />
        <menuitem label="Exit" data="" icon="exitOn" />    </menuitem>

</menu>

 

My MXML is:

<mx:Script>

  <![CDATA[        [Embed(source="images/icons/iconExitOn.gif")]        public static const exitOn:Class;


  ]]> </mx:Script>

 <mx:MenuBar id="menu" width="100%" x="0" y="0" height="27" dataProvider="{menuXml}" showRoot="false" 
   cornerRadius="3" itemClick="menuHandler(event)" labelField="@label" iconField="@icon" />

    I cannot find any samples anywhere with icons in the menu,  Is this still supported?  Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?  I am using Flex 
2.0 RTM
