Yes, you are in the situation I described. Your menu data is XML, so the
value of the icon attribute is a String, not a class.
I would try something like this:
private function createAndShow():void {
myMenu = Menu.createMenu(null, myMenuData, false);
myMenu.labelField="@label";
myMenu.addEventListener("itemClick", menuHandler);
myMenu.setStyle('checkIcon', myCheckIcon);
myMenu.setStyle('radioIcon', myRadioIcon);
myMenu.iconField="@icon";
myMenu.addEventListener(Menu.MENU_SHOW, menuShowHandler);
myMenu.show(150, 150);
}
private function menuShowHandler(event:Event):void
{
event.target.document = this;
}

Well, I actually populate the menu by calling a function when a button
is clicked... the function is here:
private function createAndShow():void {
myMenu = Menu.createMenu(null, myMenuData, false);
myMenu.labelField="@label";
myMenu.addEventListener("itemClick", menuHandler);
myMenu.setStyle('checkIcon', myCheckIcon);
myMenu.setStyle('radioIcon', myRadioIcon);
myMenu.iconField="@icon";
myMenu.show(150, 150);
}
and its XML is here:
<mx:XML format="e4x" id="myMenuData">
<root>
<menuitem label="MenuItem 1" icon="myTopIcon"/>
<menuitem label="MenuItem 2" icon="myCheckIcon"/>
<menuitem type="separator"/>
<menuitem label="MenuItem 3" icon="myRadioIcon"/>
</root>
</mx:XML>
I am not sure if this supports what you are saying or not, but I hope
not, because I don't know what to do with your tip! (Kinda new to this
all...)
