I see what you mean Jeff. There used to be a getMenuItemAt()
function (myMenu.getMenuAt(0).getMenuItemAt(1).enabled = false), but
it looks like it has been depreciated. Sorry for wasting your
time. You can always modify the enabled attributes in the
dataProvider, after the xml has loaded. Just another thought.
Good luck,
Tim
