This post´s a little long ago, but I thought I´d post an answer
anyway:
one can achieve the desired behaviour easily by creating a custom
component that extends PopUpMenuButton.
In your custom component just override the clickHandler-method like
this:
override protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//super.clickHandler(event); --> do NOT envoke PopUpMenuButton´s
.clickHandler()
}
In mxml U can then define your own handler only for the button controls
(eg. open the menu only, dont call itemClick-Handler automatically):
<controls:myPopUpMenuButton
click = "{ event.target.open() }"
itemClick = "{ myItemClickHandler(event) }" />
