No, this is not currently possible. The current MenuBar skin does not run any transitions when menu items are added or removed. >- is it possible to have more Main Menus, and choose which one to >attach, depending on the current context ? Yes. You can do this in application code (by manually swapping your menus in and out), or you can use the MenuHandler interface. I actually just checked in a tutorial doc that describes how this works. >- someone has tried to see on a menu with many elements, if all is >inside the display bounds ? >Both on vertical and horizontal axis. This could be a simple test to add. We have a task to revisit this for all popups in 1.4.1: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-23 >- I've sen in many sites Flash versions of a Scrollable Menu >(sometimes containing only Buttons), where going to one side (left or >right) cause a scrolling in that direction, and when the first/last >element is displayed, it restarts from the other side ...

You can do something similar with the Panorama component. >A last thing: >what do you think on adding a simple Pivot About box, containing opt. >some platform Info (OS, JVM, memory, etc), and some Pivot Info (logo >small, version, link to site) ? >At least we could reuse it in all tutorials/demos that have a menu ... Possibly. What do you think might be some practical use cases for such a component?
