The menu doesn't open. And 'mouseDown' is required in the context of the app.
Any ideas, Alex?
Here's the test code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="400"
height="300">
<fx:Declarations>
<!-- Define the menu data. -->
<fx:XML format="e4x" id="myMenuData">
<root>
<menuitem label="MenuItem A" >
! ; <menuitem label="SubMenuItem A-1" enabled="false"/>
<menuitem label="SubMenuItem A-2"/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="MenuItem B" type="check" toggled="true"/>
<menuitem label="MenuItem C" type="check" toggled="false"/>
<menuitem type="separator"/>
<menuitem label="MenuItem D" >
<menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-1" type="! radio"
&! nbsp; &n bsp; groupName="one"/>
<menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-2" type="radio"
groupName="one" toggled="true"/>
<menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-3" type="radio"
groupName="one"/>
</menuitem>
</root>
</fx:XML>
&nb! sp; </fx:Declarations>
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Menu;
// Create and display the Menu control.
private function createAndShow():void
{
var myMenu:Menu = Menu.createMenu(null, myMenuData, false);
myMenu.labelField="@label";
myMenu.show(10, 10);
! }
! &n bsp; ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:VGroup>
<s:Button id="myButton"
label="Open Menu"
click="createAndShow();"/>
</s:VGroup>

What happens?

Attempting to create a flex Menu on 'mouseDown' is failing (but works using the

<!-- Define a Button control to open the menu -->

Is there a workaround?
Thanks,
