Ah, no I looked at the history and that was a different thread, probably
confused others as well.
Ok, try this:
var xmlMenuItem:XML =
myMenuData..menuItem.(attribute("id")=="menuDown")[0];
[EMAIL PROTECTED] = false;

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items
Programmatically using AS 3.0
I'm really struggling for help. 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.
End rant.
