[flexcoders] Re: (Flex 1.5 using Cairngorm Framework) MenuBars in PopUps not Working

2005-10-26 Thread fowleryj 
Dustin,

Thanks for that suggestion - it proved that the problem is indeed that
the menu is showing up beneath my window. Another strange thing is
that none of the items are selectable when I run my mouse cursor over
them. How would I get the menu to stop showing up beneath my window?

Renaun,

PopUp.mxml's top component is an mx:Panel. Main.mxml allows the user
to open any number of different windows (I gave them generic names for
this example, obviously, but they are all smaller parts of a large
application) in which the user will execute different tasks. Also, I
do have my AS function inside of mx:Script![CDATA[ ]/mx:Script
tags.

Thank you both. =)

[flexcoders] Re: (Flex 1.5 using Cairngorm Framework) MenuBars in PopUps not Working

2005-10-26 Thread fowleryj 
The parent of PopUp.mxml is an mx:Application. I saw that in the
livedocs, but I didn't read it to mean that the MenuBar is not
intended for use within a pop-up (i.e. within a Panel)... is this the
case?

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, kaibabsowats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 From the livedocs:
 
 The MenuBar control defines a horizontal menu bar that contains one
 or more Menus. The MenuBar control is generally always visible. **It
 is not intended for use as a pop up.** The individual Menus popup as
 the user clicks on them and disappear when a menu item is clicked or
 the menu is dismissed by clicking outside the menu.
 
 **'s added for emphasive.
 
 What is the parent container of the PopUp.mxml (mx:Panel)?  Is it a
 ViewStack?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: (Flex 1.5 using Cairngorm Framework) MenuBars in PopUps not Working

2005-10-26 Thread Mercer, Dustin 










When you create the window, you can
specify its modality (I think it is the 3rd parameter on the
createPopUp method, its a Boolean value). Try setting the modality
to false. A modal window is the topmost window in a flex application.
I have had similar issues with modal windows This may not work,
but it is worth a try.

This doesnt sound like a cairngorm issue,
but a flex depth issue. Try this Try making the window height about 50
pixels, and add a bunch of menu items to the menubars dataProvider, then
try. See if the menu is showing up under the window (you will be able to see
that because the menus items should extend beyond the bottom of the
