This won't work: myMenuData.menuitem.(@id=="menuDown")[EMAIL PROTECTED] = "false";
You need to use the attribute syntax as in my example. Tract ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bc24fl Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 10:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0 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.
