Hi,

I have committed a couple of new components to Royale in the develop branch of 
the royale-asjs Git repository. This is a brief summary.

Menu is class that lets you programmatically create and display pop-up menus. 
Menu uses an Array of String or an Array of Object (when you give Menu a 
labelField to select which item in each Object contains the label). Menu will 
dispatch a "change" event when an item is selected. The Menu is dismissed 
either by selecting an item or by selecting any where outside of the Menu 
itself. The Menu class does not display nested or sub-menus; it is a one-level 
only Menu.

MenuBar is a class that can be specified in MXML and displays a horizontal row 
of selectable items. MenuBar uses an Array of Objects, each Object having an 
item that contains an Array of menu items; these can be nested to produce a 
cascading set of menus. MenuBar will dispatch a "change" event when an item on 
any menu (or sub-menu) is selected. The menus are dismissed either by selecting 
an item or by selecting anywhere outside of the menus themselves.

MenuBar displays CascadingMenu instances by default. If you wish to use Menu 
(which is a bit lighter and does not support sub-menus), you can specify the 
menuClass either in MXML, ActionScript, or in a CSS style.

Please see examples/MenuExample for an example of how to use Menu and MenuBar.
