RE: [flexcoders] Listen itemClick Event on MenuBar

[Tracy Spratt]

Hmm, I have use the "click" event with top-level menu items with no
children and it fires, but the click event does not fire on sub menu
items with children.

 

I couldn't get MouseDown or up to fire either.

 

I am stumped.

Tracy.

Maybe I don't explain very well.

 

Look in the next menu structure... I want to capture the event click on
"SubMenu 1.1" 

 

Menu

    ->SubMenu 1

        -> "SubMenu 1.1"

            -> SubMenu 1.1.1

            -> SubMenu 1.1.2

        -> SubMenu 1.2

            -> SubMenu 1.2.1

            -> SubMenu 1.2.2

    ->SubMenu 2

        -> SubMenu 1.1

        -> SubMenu 1.2

 

I looked at the SDK source that the itemClick event only is dispatched
when the node hasn't childrens

 

here is an example

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
<http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " layout="absolute"
 creationComplete="initCollections();" 
 >
 
 <mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
   import mx.collections.XMLListCollection;
   import mx.events.MenuEvent;
   
  private function menuItemClickHandler(event:MenuEvent):void  {

              trace([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> );
  }
            
  private function initCollections():void {
   menuBarCollection = new XMLListCollection(menubarXML);
  }

 

  [Bindable]
  public var menuBarCollection:XMLListCollection;

 

  private var menubarXML:XMLList =
  <>
      <menuitem label="Sub Menu 1">
      <menuitem label="Sub Menu 1.1">
    <menuitem label="MenuItem 1.1.1"/>
    <menuitem label="MenuItem 1.1.2"/>
   </menuitem>
   <menuitem label="Sub Menu 1.2" />
      </menuitem>
      <menuitem label="Sub Menu 2">
      <menuitem label="Sub Menu 2.1" />
      <menuitem label="Sub Menu 2.2" />                         
      </menuitem>
  </>;
                

  ]]>
 </mx:Script>
 
 
 <mx:MenuBar 
  labelField="@label"
  dataProvider="{menuBarCollection}"
  itemClick="menuItemClickHandler(event)"
  />
  
</mx:Application>

This is an aggravating aspect of Menu.

You have to listen for both itemClick and click.

Hello people

I have a problem... someone maybe can help me

The MenuBar control doesn't dispatch the "itemClick" event on items that
has childrens.

Anybody knows how can I capture the click event on any item (with
childrens or  without them)?

Thanks

Andres
