[flexcoders] Changing states and removing ControlBar throws an error

[azona26]

I have a panel which contains a form, form items, controlbar and a
button. When I create a new state and remove all the items from the
panel using removeChild, the error is thrown:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child
of the caller.
I have narrowed it down to an issue with the controlbar. If I do not use
removeChild on the controlbar, simply keeping the controlbar in the new
state, I do not get an error. In reality, it's fine if I leave the
controlbar in the new state, however, I would like to know if it's
something I am doing wrong or a bug ( looks like an issue similar to
this bug http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12188
   ).

Thanks.

It works - please ignore the previous post. Wow, the ability to push
components into arrays like this opens up so many possibilities -
especially when working with flex frameworks. I find it strange the
documentation doesn't highlight this feature - otherwise I missed it.
Thanks again!

Tried this but it failed:

then later:
Model.getInstance().a_red[1].source=Model.getInstance().red_source;

where red_source is a png image.

for (var i:int=0;i<64;i++)
{
 Model.getInstance().a_red.push(Model.getInstance().red);
}

then:
trace("Red Image: ",Model.getInstance().red[1].source);

[flexcoders] Image scaleContent="false" causes Security Sandbox Violation in AIR 1.5.x

[Shigeru Nakagaki]

Image is loaded, but Security Sandbox Violation log is outputted in 
console. If scaleContent is "true", there is no Security Sandbox 
Violation log.


crossdomain.xml is like this.








And app loads policy file on initialization like this.

Security.loadPolicyFile("http://localhost/crossdomain.xml";);


Cannot this Security Sandbox Violation log be avoided ?

Cannot we access context data of loaded image in AIR ??


thanks

Thanks Pedro

So is it possible to define an Image Array without a repeater? I'd
like to run through 64 Images using:

for each (var img:Image in ImageArray)
{
... etc
}

Back to google.

Re: [flexcoders] Define repeaters at runtime

[Pedro Sena]

If you don't want to use mxml, why don't you use a simple loop instead of
repeater?

The idea of the repeater is to make a loop in mxml adding UI components.

But if you don't want to use mxml, you can easilly do this in AS3 with a
loop + addChild method.

Just my 2 cents,

Pedro Sena

Is it possible to define repeaters at runtime? I've scanned the web
and didn't find anything. I would like an Image array defined within a

Re: [flexcoders] question for flex coders

[Sam Lai]

Because in the line,

return publishDate.format(dateItem[dateColumn.dataField]);

dateItem[dateColumn.dataField] is an XML object, not a string, and the
date formatter doesn't like that. Try adding toString() after it and
it should work, i.e.

return publishDate.format(dateItem[dateColumn.dataField].toString());

Why does my dateformater NOT work in my grid (below) if 
I specify the resultformat as E4X?  Thats the only difference 
I can see in the grids below. 

Grids 1 and 2 are not e4X and yet they display the date as processed by

Grids 3 and 4 are e4x and the field is just blank for them.

[flexcoders] LCDS: How to use load-on-demand?

[Kevin]

I am trying to figure out how to use the LCDS 2.6.1 load-on-demand feature with 
a 
DataGrid.  I have set up my associations and am getting the expected result 
when I load the 
object (which is that none of the load-on-demand associations are populated), 
however, then 
do not know how to actually populate the data grid when I need the collection's 
data.  I tried  
calling for the length of the collection thinking that it would throw and 
ItemPendingError, but 
that did not seem to work.  Are there any examples out there or sample code 
from people 
who are using the load-on-demand feature?

Thanks,

Kevin

RE: [flexcoders] How to find the actual type of a custom flex component?

[Gordon Smith]

The actual type of your component is MyCustomBox. Its superclass is VBox. 
VBox's superclass is Box. Box's superclass is Container, etc. So you're looking 
for your immediate superclass.

Use the getQualifiedSuperclassName() function in the flash.utils package. It 
will give you a String like "mx.containers:VBox". (It think it puts a colon in 
there.)

By that I mean I create a custom component that is a VBox, but I call

MyCustomBox, but I want to get the class VBox by any means.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reading compressed file in AS 3

[Jim Cheng]

I'm assuming you're using PHP based upon gzopen.

 From reading the zlib library documentation, you'll want to use the 
gzcompress function instead of gzopen to compress your string into the 
zlib data format (which corresponds to ByteArray's compress/uncompress 
methods).  Note that gzopen uses a slightly different data format, gzip, 
which is based upon, but incompatible with zlib.  This likely accounts 
for the slight difference in file size and your inability to decompress 
the file on the Flex side of things.

Hope this helps,

Re: [flexcoders] Who have YOU used for outsourcing mid to large Flex/CF projects?

[ben gomez farrell]

Hey, this is just my opinion and what I've learned from working for 
people that run small companies.  I don't have direct experience - but 
here's what I think

In my opinion $30k projects just aren't that big.  They're great to 
maintain your business, and by all means money is money - so who 
wouldn't want to take them.  But I'd call a $30k project small to 
low-mid size.

Maybe its a large project for you folks, but it will most likely be a 
small project for a company you outsource to.  At that level you 
probably won't see much difference in the price tag if you folks were to 
do it in house, or if an outsourcing firm were to do it in house.  Once 
you get into the bigger numbers like $100-$200k, you can at least start 
marking yourselves up a little more because you landed the project - and 
still pay the outsourcing firm a decent rate.

My recommendation would be to keep the project in-house, but maintain a 
large rolodex of contractors.  $120/hour is probably normal for 
outsourcing because they'll most likely be hiring a project manager on 
top of their programmer to manage your project.  If you contract a good 
programmer at like $60-$80 per hour, and use an in house project manager 
or producer, you can probably achieve the same results.

Like I said.I've never run a company, so this might be bad advice - 
but its probably what I'd do.

Thanks for the quick response. Both my server and client are Windows.
Actually they are the same machine!!!

I will try the checksum tomorrow but I checked number of bytes that

Another test I did was to send the uncompressed file and read into a

[flexcoders] Who have YOU used for outsourcing mid to large Flex/CF projects?

[Pat Buchanan]

My company is where I like it - small and maintainable - just a few
employees.  But sometimes I get some BIG projects thrown at me that are
nearly guaranteed.  The problem is, I don't want to hire anyone and it's too
hard to keep a good group of reserve programmers busy 100% of the time.

I've turned away at least 3 > $30,000 projects in the last few months alone
- and I hate it.  I want to be involved, I want to grow the company, but I
think the best solution might be to use an outsourcing house.  Eventually
these clients will stop coming to me and go elsewhere - and I don't want
that to happen.

So --- who have YOU used to outsource your projects to?  Someone that does
it all - Flex, CF, .NET, SQL Server, etc.

I don't have the money to blow to try out places to find out they suck
pondwater or never return phone calls.  I want to manage the project and I
want to be involved in everything, but I need a group that can continue to
work even though they run into a roadblock on a separate piece.

Now there are some INCREDIBLE groups out there that we all know and love (I
won't name names, but one of them trained me in Flex) but $120/hour in this
economy isn't going to cut it.

So - who have you used that you like, that won't break the bank?  And do
they communicate well?  (It's WAAAY to hard for me to express what I want to
someone that doesn't understand English, so I need to be careful there too)

Any recommendations/thoughts/examples?

If you ARE one of these groups, PLEASE don't respond on this list - just

Is this in a ViewStack or something?  If so, the first time the

event.  Instead, it fires the creationComplete event.

If I don't need the AdvancedDataGrid do you think it's ok to use it
only for this effect or there is an overhead?
I tried your solution, but I think that the problem is that I need to 
refresh the datagrid for changing color.
I don't think this is a viable solution because I have thousand of
rows, I would only blink the new rows for one second.

I can't find any way to apply a resize effect when I expand a Panel
inside a DividedBox.
I tried using transition and applying a resize effect directly to
Panel resizeEffect, but without any effective result. In some cases
the behaviour is weird and I presume the cause could be that the
effect doesn't work well when using percentage dimension.

Here is my test code:
http://www.faser.net/public/tmp/flextest/testtrans.html

Anyway, do you think it's better to use transition or I can continue
to try to use the Panel resizeEffect event?

You're also going to want to change this:

.tightDashBorder  {
dashlen: 2;
dashgap: 2;
}

To this:

.tightDashBorder  {
dashlen: 2;
gaplen: 2;
}

[flexcoders] Re: Can't Change Custom Border Custom Styles - Please Help !!!

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Greg,

If you change the top half of your borderSkin class to the code below,
you can use a class selector style as a styleName for a VBox
(styleName="tightDashBorder").  To use a type selector style, you're
probably going to have to turn the borderSkin into a full-fledged
component; with the same name.  While the code below is not how I would
normally do this, it is a working example that you can expand upon.

-TH

package
{
import mx.skins.RectangularBorder;



[Style(name="dashlen",type="Number",format="Length",inherit="no")]
[Style(name="gaplen",type="Number",format="Length",inherit="no")]



public class DashBorder extends RectangularBorder{



public function DashBorder(){
super();
}



override public function styleChanged(styleProp:String):void {
invalidateDisplayList();
}



override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void{



super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);



var borderThickness:int = getStyle("borderThickness");
var borderColor:int = getStyle("borderColor");
var dashlen:int = (getStyle("dashlen") == null) ? 5 :
getStyle("dashlen");
var gaplen:int = (getStyle("gaplen") == null) ? 5 : getStyle("gaplen");



graphics.clear();
graphics.lineStyle(borderThickness, borderColor, 1)



drawBorder(this.x, this.y, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight, dashlen,
gaplen);
}

Re: [flexcoders] Reading compressed file in AS 3

[Maciek Sakrejda]

What are the other bytes ;) ?

I've run into some issues working with low-level bit-twiddling before
(only on Linux, but that still may be indicative of larger problems).
For example, in FP9 on Linux, sending a payload with a POST URLRequest
truncates the payload data at the first 0x00 byte (!). On FP10 in Linux,
that seems to have been fixed, but I'm getting a different error that I
have not yet tracked down.

I'm not sure if your issue is related, but I'd make sure your data makes
it to the client okay before you try to decompress it. E.g., can you
compute a checksum for both client and server and compare?

Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:45:19 -

I have a program that create an XML string and write it to a file
using either regular file function or zlib file function to create
compressed file. This is done on the server.

On the client, I can read and process the uncompressed file in an AS3
application using URLLoader and URLRequest. I have problem doing the
same with compressed file. The code copies the data correctly to a
ByteArray but uncompress method gives Error #2058: There was an error
decompressing the data. What can be wrong and what is the solution.

In case it is useful, the first 16 bytes of the file in HEX are:

1F 8B 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 0B CC BC 67 AF F4 CC

They match the first 16 bytes of the ByteArray.

Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Enum in Fles

[Maciek Sakrejda]

This came up on this list recently and apparently it's not a great idea:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/136096

We're using Granite DS which *does* generate a mirror ActionScript Enum
type, but apparently this approach is fraught with peril (because
Flash--unlike Java--won't guarantee that you have only one instance of
your Enum). I've reviewed our usage, and we're not doing anything where
this would hurt us, but I can easily imagine problems.

E.g., if you put your Enum in an ArrayCollection and later try to find
it by using getItemIndex, but you pass a different Enum instance to
getItemIndex, the ArrayCollection won't find it because it uses == to
compare objects, and two separate instances of the same Enum are not ==.

[flexcoders] NativeDragEvents vs. DragEvents

[djhatrick]

OK, this is a real challenge.  How do I handle both dragEvents and
NativeDragEvents inside a list...

For instance, files need to be able to dragged in and the list (doing
this on the itemRenderer) also the list needs to handle the ablility
to be reordered with it's own drag and drop. 

It seems like one competes withe the over.  It seems like I am going
to have to do the math and figure out which item in the list renderer
is being dropped on...

Any suggestion on best practices for this one, this is proving a trial
and error challenge.

[flexcoders] Re: wtf is a DragSource

[hofo]

Matt, when you say "shallow copies" below do you really mean
references? I jsut ran across behavior where the dragSource items
changed between the beginning of the drag and the dragDrop event. This
happened because in the dragOver event handler I was changing the
selectedIndex on the drag initiator. When this happens, the dragSource
items became the new selectedIndex, not the item that was actually
being dragged. Is this a bug or an undocumented feature?

[flexcoders] IDE + Continuous integration == meh?

[Rick Winscot]

I¹m trying to trim a little more fat off an application that has half a
dozen RSLs and a scad of modules. The application is being built out of a
continuous integration process using Flex Ant Tasks. My first thoughts were
to tune compiled targets in the IDE (which worked nicely) and then use
­dump-config to generate a config file that I would use in lieu of
flex-config.xml. This didn¹t work ­ RSL/module file size stayed the same
(scratches head).

I¹ve read a heaping plate-full of great posts by Ryan Steward, Ted Patrick,
that guy Alex at Adobe (ROWR) and a few others... does anyone have any
horror stories or success stories they could share about reducing your
application footprint?

Re: [flexcoders] syncing AIR/Flex app with mobile phones

[Weyert de Boer]

Hi,

You could consider to use the SyncML protocol. Now you probably would 
still need some program in the middle who can push the SyncML data to 
the mobile phone like via Bluetooth. Of course, you can also generate an 
iCal file or a  vCard file. Maybe? Of course, you can just push to 
something like Google Calendar and Google Contacts (if it exists!)

For the first problem I don't have clue but for second problem I can say that 
it's due to weird behaviour of Flash Garbage Collector.

Hi,

heavy in terms of memory, and that memory is never getting released once the

that page and if so is there any way to release it, or is this definitely not a 
Flex problem, and more a browser issues or issue with the external page as I

2) The Flex app is one part of a much larger website. When we proceed past the

much of the memory Flex was using doesn't seem to be getting released. A

Needless to say IE seems to be much more of a memory hog, but we've been 
looking at this in both IE and FireFox.

Any help much appreciated.

Is this still an issue?  I got the impression it had been addressed in
swfobject 2.1.

For the first problem I don't have clue but for second problem I
can say that it's due to weird behaviour of Flash Garbage Collector.

application. This 3rd  party page is heavy in terms of memory, and that
memory is never getting released once the page is closed. Is it at all
possible that Flex is holding on to a handle to that page and if so is
there any way to release it, or is this definitely not a Flex problem,
and more a browser issues or issue with the external page as I expect?

2) The Flex app is one part of a much larger website. When we
proceed past the Flex app (ie the user proceeds to a page where the app
isn't embedded), again much of the memory Flex was using doesn't seem to
be getting released. A browser issue?

Needless to say IE seems to be much more of a memory hog, but
we've been looking at this in both IE and FireFox.

Any help much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Printing same object twice, different results

[kaleb_pederson]

In trying to track down a printing bug [1], I discovered that (on
certain browsers) I can print the exact same object twice using
PrintJob.addPage(myPage) and get different results, even though
nothing about the object changed between calls [2] [3].

So far, I've found that the following things matter to some extent:

1) It doesn't show up on most systems, but it shows up almost every
time on other systems
2) I must have compiled targeting flash player 10
3) Changing myPage's parent from the print preview control to
Application.application immediately before printing makes the bug
disappear on some systems, and less invasive on other systems.
4) Avoiding the print preview control and printing directly when
attached to Application.application seems to make the bug disappear on
all systems
5) It doesn't matter whether or not I use FlexBuilder's provided 3.2
SDK, the open source 3.2 SDK, or the open source 3.3 SDK.

Does anybody have suggestions or thoughts on what might cause this? 
Do you have other suggestions for things that I can look at?

Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Reading the output of an AIR application in C#

[Maciek Sakrejda]

I think you should be able to have the C# app open an XML socket server,
and communicate back through XMLSocket from Flex. It's much more
straightforward than reimplementing LocalConnection, and much more
flexible than communicating through a file.

Re: [flexcoders] Converting strings to numbers before sorting?

[Adrian Williams]

Hi Keith,

   Have you tried casting your string to a number via the number() 
function first? Number() handles floating points well.  We have the same 
problem sorting kit numbers in true numerical fashion as we can have 
some that begin with a letter versus a true number.  So in our sort 
compare we do this:


   public static function compareKitNumbers(obj1:Object, 
obj2:Object):int

   {
   var value1:Number = (obj1.KitNum == '' || obj1.KitNum == 
null) ? null : new Number(obj1.KitNum);
   var value2:Number = (obj2.KitNum == '' || obj2.KitNum == 
null) ? null : new Number(obj2.KitNum);

   var kitnum1:String = obj1.KitNum as String;
   var kitnum2:String = obj2.KitNum as String;
   var kit1Length:int = kitnum1.length - 1;
   var kit2Length:int = kitnum2.length - 1;
  
   if (isNaN(value1) && isNaN(value2))

   {
   if (kitnum1.substr(0,1) < kitnum2.substr(0,1))
   {
   return -1;
   }
   else if (kitnum1.substr(0,1) > kitnum2.substr(0,1))
   {
   return 1;
   }
   else
   {
   value1 = new Number(kitnum1.substr(1,kit1Length));
   value2 = new Number(kitnum2.substr(1,kit2Length));
   }
   }

   if (value1 < value2 || (isNaN(value2) && !isNaN(value1)))
   {
   return -1;
   }
   else if (value1 > value2 || (isNaN(value1) && !isNaN(value2)))
   {
   return 1;
   }
   else
   {
   return 0;
   }
   }

Hi all,

wondering if someone could help me out:

From the Flex API docs 
 
it appears that when you use a labelFunction instead of a dataField to 
specify what should be displayed in a column, that the output of the 
label function is what is then used for sorting:


"If you specify a value of the |labelFunction| property, you must
also provide a function to the |sortCompareFunction| property,
unless sorting is not allowed on this column. "

So my first attempt was to simply cast the strings to numbers within 
the label function and hope that the default sorters would still be 
available:


private function testLabel2(item:Object, col:DataGridColumn):Number {
return parseFloat(item.string);
}

... I also tried using "Number(item.string)", however, neither worked 
so I went to manually specifying the sort compare function:


public function sortAsIs(obj1:Object, obj2:Object):int {
if (obj1 < obj2)
return -1;
else if (obj1 == obj2)
return 0;
else
return 1;
}

This didn't do the trick either. So finally, I decided to try doing 
the conversion in the sortCompareFunction, just in case it was 
comparing the original data fields and not the output of the label 
function. Again no luck.


Anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the full code for the test case I am describing:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>



   





labelFunction="testLabel1" sortCompareFunction="sortAsIs"/>

labelFunction="testLabel1" sortCompareFunction="sortAfterCasting"/>
sortCompareFunction="sortAfterCasting"/>

[flexcoders] form validation pop-up migrain

[wakouaq]

Hello everyone,

I've been running into a pretty disturbing problem for the last few days.

I am updating a login module so that it can handle user registration
and password retrieval. 

I have various messages displayed depending on what the user did ( e.g
: the password is incorrect ). And they all correctly appear IN FRONT
of my login module.

When the user clicks on the submit button, a validation function is
called to check if the fields have all correctly been filled and if
not, a pop up message is displayed telling the user that he didn't
fill correctly all the fields.
So here comes my problem : this particular pop-up is displayed BEHIND
my login module.

My guess would be that for some reason, the focus is given back to the
login module, sending the pop-up behind it as fast as lightning. 


Does anyone have any suggestion on how to fix this issue ? 

I can provide more detailled info if you wish, like bits of code.

At design time the icon image is embedded when the swf is generated -

[flexcoders] design time array vs. run time array

[markgoldin_2000]

Design:




Run time:
objectToArray = new Object;
objectToArray.label = "Accordion";
objectToArray.icon = "@Embed
('D:/projects/sfcs/assets/status_online.png')";
lineList[0] = objectToArray;

In the debugger for run time array:
icon looks like this: @Embed
('D:/projects/sfcs/assets/status_online.png')

but for design time array:
it looks like this:
test__embed_mxml_D__projects_sfcs_assets_status_online_png_1891042693$ 
(@6436f41)

What am I missing here?

[flexcoders] help with Image source

[oneworld95]

I have an itemRendrer in a DataGrid that contains an Image tag. When
the user uploads the image file from another column's itemRenderer, I
need to have the Image's source set to the new filename. How is this
done in Flex using good OOP practices?

Solved. Use contentHeight and contentWidth to get scaledImage

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reading the output of an AIR application in C#

[Jeffry Houser]

Maybe you want to look at technologies other than AIR? 

Tom's suggestion of "write to file, read from file" should be 
implementable w/o shutting down the AIR app.  You just have to implement 
some kind of directory watcher in the C# piece. 

Beyond that, you might look into WebORB.NET or CommandProxy (or Merapi 
to a lesser extent) to work out a different method for passing data back 
and forth.

Re: [flexcoders] How to find the actual type of a custom flex component?

[Jeffry Houser]

 You should be able to override the className property, something like this:

override public function className():String{
 return 'VBox'
}

 Whether it is a good idea or not is open to discussion.

They can communicate via LocalConnection. Your C# app just needs to

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reading the output of an AIR application in C#

[Weyert de Boer]

You could check if AIR allows to output to the output stream (or 
System.Out) while running and you can catch that easily under Windows.

See for more information: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.processstartinfo.redirectstandardoutput.aspx

Of course, can also add some sort of file watcher and get an event when 
the file is added to a specific file (or a file with a specific name) 
and then directly open it in C#.

Hi,

I have an Air application which is launched from a C# application

able to return some results from the Air app  back to my C# app.

Is there any way to do this? 

Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to hard code a name, just go ahead and do so.

I'm using the apt provided Eclipse, so v3.2, and it's been utterly fine on 
7.10, 8.04 and now 8.10 (with the Experimental Kubuntu KDE 4.2 packages 
too !):

RE: [flexcoders] How to find the actual type of a custom flex component?

I think describeType() gives the inheritance list. You could pick it out
of that. It certainly gives the baseclass

Hi, 

I am wondering if anybody knows how I can find the actual class type
of a custom component?

By that I mean I create a custom component that is a VBox, but I call
it MyCustomBox, and whenever I call className on that it returns
MyCustomBox, but I want to get the class VBox by any means.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] question for services-config?

[Gregor Kiddie]

There is a compiler option to allow to supply a services-config, so you
can change it and supply the changes one.

Better question, why do you want to change them?

[flexcoders] Re: Menubar sub menu pop up orientation

[Sefi Ninio]

OK, some updates:

What caused me to ask this, was that when I tried it, the sub menu appears
to flow off the bottom of the screen.
I tried it again, and it seems it only does this for the first time the sub
menu appears.
The second time, it kinda "found out" that it was flowing off the screen,
and on consecutive clicks after the first the sub menu appears as it should
(upwards instead of downwards).

I hope I am making sense... :)

So, an altered question:
Any thoughts on how to control the direction the MenuBar sub menu appears
(up or down)?

Thanks,
Sefi

[flexcoders] Flex & RAM memory use - (probably a question for the player engineers?)

[nwebb]

Hi,

we're having 2 issues with memory in Flex:

1) Part way through our Flex application we open an external HTML page (3rd
party page). The user selects items from this page and then closes the page
& the control is then returned to the Flex application. This 3rd  party page
is heavy in terms of memory, and that memory is never getting released once
the page is closed. Is it at all possible that Flex is holding on to a
handle to that page and if so is there any way to release it, or is this
definitely not a Flex problem, and more a browser issues or issue with the
external page as I expect?

2) The Flex app is one part of a much larger website. When we proceed past
the Flex app (ie the user proceeds to a page where the app isn't embedded),
again much of the memory Flex was using doesn't seem to be getting released.
A browser issue?

Needless to say IE seems to be much more of a memory hog, but we've been
looking at this in both IE and FireFox.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,
Neil

Re: [flexcoders] Re: property editor component

[Sefi Ninio]

Hi Tracy,

Thanks for the help and the code.
I ended up implementing the component myself, as a container of multiple
types of editors.
Similar to what you implemented really, just with separate editors instead
of states.

[flexcoders] Menubar sub menu pop up orientation

[Sefi Ninio]

Hi.

I have a working MenuBar, with sub menus - all working exactly as I need it
to.

I was wondering, however, if there was a way to force the sub menu to open
upwards instead of downwards in relation to the menu bar.

I plan to place the MenuBar on the bottom of the component, and would like
to make sure that if the component is placed near the bottom of the screen,
that the sub menu pop up won't disappear from lack of screen space.

Thanks,
Sefi
