[flexcoders] IMenuItemRenderer position in Menu

[chrislee943]

Hi all,

I've some problem with IMenuItemRenderer, I can't get it position in
Menu, not index only X, Y coordinates. I've override it and get my
itemRenderer: MyMenuItemRenderer:

public class MyMenuItemRenderer extends UIComponent
       implements
             IDataRenderer, IListItemRenderer,
             IMyMenuItemRenderer, IDropInListItemRenderer
{
        ....
        public function set data(value:Object):void
        {
               _data = value;
                invalidateProperties();
                invalidateSize();
                dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
                var _do : DisplayObject = DisplayObject(this);
                var pt : Point = _do.localToGlobal(new Point(x, y));
        }
}

and as you can see, I'm trying to get it global position, but get only
a Point object with X=0, Y=0 :(


I need to do it, because I want to include in menu some effect: when
then the data is setting I want to move the renderer from last
renderer in menu to the current renderer - so I can get transition effect.
Or if you've any other suggestions please comment.


Thanks,
