[flexcoders] Sub-folders in ContextMenu customitems?

[scott_ruffing]

I'm trying to add several folder items to the ContextMenu items, but
Flex doesn't seem to recognize them.  I thought I could do something like 

---------------------------------
mainMenu = new ContextMenu();
mainMenu.hideBuiltInItems();

var item:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Item");
menu.customItems.push(item); 

var submenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu("Menu 1");
var item2:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Menu 1 -> Item");
submenu.customItems.push(item2);

menu.customItems.push(submenu);


---------------------------------------------

but you can't give ContextMenu a constructor.  I can't find anything
searching for sub menus on the ContextMenu.  I've seen a built-in
sub-menu for Quality with menu-items underneath as Low, Medium, and
High but can't replicate this.  

I've also tried the following but no luck...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">

    <mx:Script>

    <![CDATA[
        import mx.controls.*;


        // Method to create an Array-based menu. 
        private function createAndShow():void {
                var mainMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
                mainMenu.hideBuiltInItems();

                var item:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Item");
                mainMenu.customItems.push(item); 

                var myMenu:Menu = Menu.createMenu(null, menuData, true);
                mainMenu.customItems.push(myMenu);

                Application.application.contextMenu = mainMenu;
        }

        // The Array data provider
        [Bindable] 
        public var menuData:Array = [{label: "MenuItem A", children: [
                            {label: "SubMenuItem A-1", enabled: false},
                            {label: "SubMenuItem A-2", type: "normal"} 
                        ]}
                    ];

    ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <!-- Button control to create and open the menu. -->
    <mx:Button x="300" y="10" label="Change Menu"
click="createAndShow();"/>
</mx:Application>



Any suggestions?
