RE: [flexcoders] Icons in menu - not working
Just to be clear, this is not a bug. This
is just a fact of life since we’re using some sort of indirection of
specifying an icon attribute in the dataProvider and then using an iconField
property to look up that reference. So, in cases like that the embedded asset
needs to not be a static variable. Other cases without this indirection, like a
Button icon, will work correctly.

Yup, you are correct. I just talked to
Roger about this.
What is happening is that MenuBar checks
to see if an iconField is set. In your case it is, and the MenuBar looks to see
if a Class, exitOn, exists with that name in the application or a property on
the document with that same name exists. It does, however you cannot access a
static var off an instance, only off the class. So, the lookup in the MenuBar
code fails.
Your workaround of making the embedded asset var non-staic is correct.

I found my problem. It appears that the menu cannot
bind to static vars for images. I solved the problem by specifying
{ public const myMenuIcon:Class = GlobalIcons.MyCoolIcon;
} where GlobalIcons.MyCoolIcon is declared exactly as below. Then pout
the local name "myMenuIcon" in the @icon field of the xml.
