Is this the thread where you are not able to use the normal method of doing this via the dataProvider, but must have some way to do it via the instantiated elements? Because you are trying to automate unit testing or something?
Because programatically disabling a particular menu item is easy. Just get a reference to the menu item node and set the enabled attribute. Is that not acceptable to you?

We have done everything to try and get a solution to this problem including: 1. Posting on public forums / mailing lists 2. Purchased books on AS3 and Flex 3. Signed up for a year subscription to Lynda.com 4. Purchased support from experts-exchange.com 5. Purchased support directly from Adobe where supposedly it's 3 day response (no resolution) and we have received no response for a week (business days). What in the world am I doing wrong? This question doesn't appear to be rocket science as I've done this (enable/disable menu items) in many other programming languages. As you can see I have exhausted every (that I know of) resource. What else am I to do? My employer is upset and now considering dropping the language altogether and I don't want that. Any advice would BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
