Oh, and one other question/request. Is there a way to have an accelerator open each of the menus, similar to how most desktop apps work? So that for instance a Alt-F would expand the file menu?

Also, been a little while since this was posted, I’m wondering if anyone has done the changes to make this OS independent?

Thanks for the great component! I was wondering if there was a relatively easy way to change the style of the accelerator on the menu when the menu item is disabled?

Thanks a lot for the awesome component.

One small change I need to do is make the menus expand/collapse as though the mouse is hovering over them instead of directly performing the function.

Is this possible? It would make your component even more useful.

Thanks!

gembin, because of the current limitations of the framework and the fact that Flex 4 will make this type of enhancement much easier, I am not developing this component any further. If you want to take a stab at it though, take a look at newton’s post above and my response for a starting point. And as always, I encourage you to share your findings with the community!

ops… missed :(

private function onKeyUp( event:KeyboardEvent ):void
{
var o:XML;
for each( var accelerator:Accelerator in _accelerators )
{
if( accelerator.test( event ) ) {
for each (o in this.menubarXML..menuitem)
{
if (String(o.@data) == String(accelerator.data)) {
if (o.@type==”check”) {
o.@toggled = String(!(o.@toggled == “true”));
}
}
}
handleMenuFunction( accelerator.data as String );
}
}
}

change toggled attribute of check type menu when called by Accelerator.

private function onKeyUp( event:KeyboardEvent ):void
{
var o:XML;
for each( var accelerator:Accelerator in _accelerators )
{
if( accelerator.test( event ) )
for each (o in this.menuProvider..menuitem)
{
if (String(o.@data) == String(accelerator.data)) {
if (o.@type==”check”) {
o.@toggled = String(!(o.@toggled == “true”));
}
}
}
handleMenuFunction( accelerator.data as String );
}
}
