Fair enough. Here is the code:
The menu is created using:
============
public var myMenu:Menu;
//myMenu is globally created
var pt:Point = new Point(event.localX, event.localY);
myMenu = Menu.createMenu(null, myMenuData, false);
pt = event.target.localToGlobal(pt);
myMenu.labelField="@label";
myMenu.show(pt.x, pt.y);
=============
After this I add a few event handlers specific to the menu
Then I add a switch statement to test what item was clicked. When the
item "Lock / Unlock" is selected I ouput an Alert to make sure It is
working correctly. Directly after the Alert I run the following:
===================
myMenuData.menuitem.(@id=="menuDown")[EMAIL PROTECTED] = "false";
// I ALSO TRIED
myMenu.dataDescriptor.setEnabled(myMenuData.menuDrill.menuDown[0],false);
===================
The data is statically defined in mxml like so:
=========================
<!-- Define the menu data. -->
<mx:XML format="e4x" id="myMenuData">
<root>
<menuitem id="menuDrill" label="Drill =>" >
<menuitem id="menuDown" label="Down" toggled="false"
enabled="true"/>
<menuitem id="menuUp" label="Up" toggled="false"
enabled="true"/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem type="separator"/>
<menuitem label="Lock / Unlock" type="check" toggled="false"/>
<menuitem type="separator"/>
<menuitem label="Reset Graph" toggled="false"/>
</root>
</mx:XML>
=======================
I hope this is enough info.
If someone has another example using a different data source please
post. I don't have to use an XML formatted data.
Thanks for the help.
