Hi, I would construct your custom 'menu' in whatever component you like that fits your requirements.
Create an interface to it if it extends anything core. Then use the PopUpManager.addPopUp() to create the hover you speak of. You could then listen for events from the systemManager mouse down to remove it. This all depends on what you are doing with the menu. Basically, the PopUpManager will give you the power to be 'above' and position things 'outside' of the Application layout. Peace, Mike On 1/17/07, missgiggygirl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I am new to Flex and need a little guidance. I am not sure where to look for this, so a little info or pointing my into the right direction (look in this package/class) would help. I need to make a "hover menu" in a Flex App. Sort of a floating menu that lets you choose some options, and, if the mouse leaves the area, disappears. (Look at the "See all 36 Product Categories" tab or the "Find Gifts" button at www.amazon.com if you don't know what I mean.) In CSS/Javascript I can accomplish this by using absolute positioning of an element, making it totally out of the "flow" of the layout, and using Z-index, as well as a couple event handlers. In Flex, well, I don't know where to start. I have done some tutorials and searches, but don't see how to have a "Canvas" be positioned on a layer "above" the rest of the document, for instance. Can someone give me some ideas? Thanks, Ann
