Hi stranger bc24fl, Mike Schmalle had proposed you the exact solution, that we are currently using within our project based on Flex 2 SDK to enable/ disable menu items in MenuBar component.
I do not understand without looking at your code, what is going on wrong with your MenuBar. Can you post a dummy sample of the code online to illustrate your problem? SWF with View source option enabled would be nice. ps Why do you post anonymously to this list, BTW? I would like to reference you by your name ;) -- -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Andriy Panas [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 03/06/2008, bc24fl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm really struggling for help.
