RE: [flexcoders] Flex Menu.createMenu on mouseDown issue

[Philip Smith]

The menu doesn't open. And 'mouseDown' is required in the context of the app. 
Any ideas, Alex?

Here's the test code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; 
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="400" 
height="300">
    <fx:Declarations>
        <!-- Define the menu data. -->
        <fx:XML format="e4x" id="myMenuData">
            <root>
                <menuitem label="MenuItem A" >
                    <menuitem label="SubMenuItem A-1" enabled="false"/>
                    <menuitem label="SubMenuItem A-2"/>
                </menuitem>
                <menuitem label="MenuItem B" type="check" toggled="true"/>
                <menuitem label="MenuItem C" type="check" toggled="false"/>
                <menuitem type="separator"/>     
                <menuitem label="MenuItem D" >
                    <menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-1" type="radio" 
                              groupName="one"/>
                    <menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-2" type="radio" 
                              groupName="one" toggled="true"/>
                    <menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-3" type="radio" 
                              groupName="one"/>
                </menuitem>
            </root>
        </fx:XML>
    </fx:Declarations>
    
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            
            import mx.controls.Menu;
            
            // Create and display the Menu control.
            private function createAndShow():void 
            {
                var myMenu:Menu = Menu.createMenu(null, myMenuData, false);
                myMenu.labelField="@label";
                myMenu.show(10, 10);
            }
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:VGroup>
        <s:Button id="myButton" 
                  label="Open Menu" 
                  click="createAndShow();"/>

What happens?

Attempting to create a flex Menu on 'mouseDown' is failing (but works using the 
'click' event):



private function createAndShow():void 

{

var myMenu:Menu = Menu.createMenu(null, myMenuData, false);

    myMenu.show(10, 10);

}

]]>

</mx:Script>







<!-- Define a Button control to open the menu -->

<s:Button mouseDown="createAndShow();"/>



Is there a workaround?



Thanks,



Philip
