So that I am clear about what you said. By cherry pick you mean take what
you just did on the royale spectrum source and apply it locally (on my pc)
on the spectrum 0.9.8 source ?

In other words what do you mean by cherry pick ?

[Harbs]

Spectrum Menus are a bit non-standard when it comes to data. It expects an 
IMenuItem. If it’s a plain object, the text is set to the label or text 
property of the object and the rest of the menu properties are inferred as 
well. The original object is *replaced* with a MenuItem if the original is not 
an IMenuItem.

You can cherry-pick the change.

Re: Spectrum UI components

[Roman Isitua]

Is there a label property ? That allows us to specify the field in our data
object to be used ?


Also, How can we access this latest change ?

We are using spectrum based on royale 0.9.8 with this commit id "024b730"

In other words we are not on version 0.9.9-snapshot?

 It’s necessary in Royale Basic to use ArrayLists.

 In Spectrum, there’s a default ListModel which correctly handles both
 both Array and ArrayList data.


 Also, another question
 which will you recommend one uses ? why should one choose Array over
 ArrayList or ArrayList over Array.


 Array is simpler. There’s less overhead. If you have data which doesn’t
 change, use Array.
 If you need the list to update when data changes, use ArrayList.

It looks like we forgot to add Event metadata for that.
