I am new to flex myself but is it not just.
menuDown.enabled="true" or menuDown.enabled="fasle" -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bc24fl Sent: 03 June 2008 14:56 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com 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.
