cornerRadius="6" color="#071243" fontFamily="Arial"  
verticalCenter="-4" left="9.05">

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

I wan to access the group name libros items to add evenListeners to  
them.


I have this code to access the main ones on the menuBar.


  protected function init():void{

  var mbiBlog:MenuBarItem= mBar.menuBarItems[4] as MenuBarItem;
  mbiBlog.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openWindowBlog);
  var mbiAntiguoT:MenuBarItem = mBar.menuBarItems[3].root[1] as  
MenuBarItem;// I've been trying to access the sub-Items I really don't  
know how, some help please.

  mbiAntiguoT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, windowBibliaAntigua);

  }

[vigilsolace]

I'm in the same position. Does anyone have any thoughts on GWT or Sencha's Ext 
JS 4?

[flexcoders] Styling title area of Alert control

[lanekelly5]

Does anyone have a good example of how to change the title area of an Alert 
control in Flex 4 (Spark)?

I have read that google will provide a partial converter from closure code
to dart. But in reality, the type system which is in Dart is already there
with the closure compiler if you bother to annotate your code - this is a
crucial concept and I annotate religiously (97.4% coverage on our current
code base) and so many potential errors get picked up by the compiler.
