You appear to also have an event handler called MenuEvent assigned to
the click handler of the MenuBar. Also, you don't need bindings for
event handler values. You only need bindings to use AS expressions in
non-event attributes of MXML elements. Finally, it's arguably bad form
to name things other than classes in title case - the convention is to
use camel case for variables and functions.
