Yeah I see what you mean. It seems like you should be able to pull the
currently selected item like from a drop down list. It looks like you
would have to make a variable to capture the data from the return event.
So it could be something like
private var selectedItem : Object = new Object();
private function actionSelect(event:MenuEvent):void {
selectedItem.data = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
selectedItem.label = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
}
private function okClicked():void { // Event handler for the OK button.
Alert.show("fname= "+fname.text +
"\nday= "+day.selectedValue+" "+day.selection.label +
"\naction= " + *selectedItem.data* + " " + *selectedItem.label*);
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
}
I haven't actually tried out the code but that seems to work
conceptually. It seems like it would be useful to be able to pull the
selected data directly but the docs don't mention that as an option. It
only talks about the itemClick and click events.
Hope that helps,
Michael

I've got a data entry "dialog" with a PopUpButton control. Although I
can get the data value from the event, I really don't want to handle
the event but rather wait for the user to hit the OK button in the
dialog, then get the selected data. I have searched the docs and
googled it to death with no success. I'm a flex newbie, so this is
probably something really obvious, but I can't find it. Code
snippets are below...
