[flexcoders] Re: Popup Menu Button. I want to click anywhere on the button

[boy_trike]

I am confused:  My PopupMenuButton looks like:

                <mx:PopUpMenuButton id="menuDialer" 
dataProvider="{menuDialerData}"
                        label="Dialing ALL"  labelField="@label"
                        itemClick="menuDialerHandler( event)"  />


the itemClick Event is ONLY triggered if i click on the down arrow at the end 
of the button.  
If I add a click event  it sends a MOUSE event not a MENU event.  How can I get 
the menu 
event sent if I click on the button?  I need the Menu Event to know which item 
they 
selected.

thanks

Bruce
