In my menubar I don't have the <menuitems></menuitems> so my XML would be:
<menuitem label="Retail" data="top">
<menuitem label="Current Year Reservation" data=""/>
<menuitem label="Next Year Reservations" data=""/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Charter" data="top">
<menuitem label="Charter Contact Information" data=""/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="Utilities" data="top">
<menuitem label="Time Management" data="load: empTime"/>
</menuitem>
My variables are setup like this:
[Bindable] public var menuBarCollection:XMLListCollection;
private var menubarXML:XMLList;
My ResultEvent handler looks like this:
menubarXML = XMLList(String(event.result));
menuBarCollection = new XMLListCollection(menubarXML);
And my menubar is created like so:
<mx:MenuBar labelField="@label" itemClick="menuHandler(event);"
dataProvider="{menuBarCollection}" />
I don't know if this is the "right" way or not but it works for me.
