Subject: [flexcoders] Contest menu text doesn't change if i set the caption 
property


Code snippet:

var statusBarItem: ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem( "show me",
false, true, true);
showMeItem.addEvent Listener( ContextMenuEvent. MENU_ITEM_ SELECT,
showMeListener );
cm.customItems. push(showMeItem) ;
Context menu doesn't change the label if it reset the caption
property. it shows me the label what i have set ate the begining only.
can some body help!!!

public function showMeListener( event:ContextMen uEvent):void {

var statusBarItem: ContextMenuItem = ContextMenuItem( event.currentTar get);

var statusCaption: String = "";

if(ModelLocator. getInstance( ).xyzModel. showMe == true) {
ModelLocator. getInstance( ).visualizerMode l.showME = false;
statusCaption = "Hide me";
} else {
ModelLocator. getInstance( ).visualizerMode l.showME = true;
statusCaption = "Show me";
}
statusBarItem. caption = statusCaption;
}

but my context menu caption is not changing from "Show me" to "Hide
me" and vice versa.
