I think you want to listen for the “preparing” event: https://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/NativeMenu.html#event:preparing (Not sure the bookmark works on that link so you may just need to scroll down to very nearly the bottom of the page to see the event details..)
Hope it helps.. cheers, Andrew On 14 Jul 2018, at 15:01, Tucsonjhall <jh...@cactusware.com<mailto:jh...@cactusware.com>> wrote: I must not be approaching this common task correctly. I have a native menu on an AIR application and want to determine which subitems should be enabled before displaying.
