Skin Parts

This component uses skins made up of skin parts. Do not set the skin parts directly. The component's skin sets the skin parts.

	Description	Defined By
dataGroup:DataGroup	Required: false Part Type: Static An optional skin part that defines the DataGroup in the skin class where data items get pushed into, rendered, and laid out.	SkinnableDataContainer
dropIndicator:IFactory	Required: false Part Type: Dynamic A skin part that defines the appearance of the drop indicator. The drop indicator is resized and positioned by the layout to outline the insert location when dragging over the List. By default, the drop indicator for a Spark control is a solid line that spans the width of the control. Create a custom drop indicator by creating a custom skin class for the drop target. In your skin class, create a skin part named dropIndicator, in the area of the skin class. The IFactory must return an object of type DisplayObject	List
scroller:Scroller	Required: false Part Type: Static The optional Scroller used to scroll the List.	List

Skin States

To skin the component, implement a skin that defines the following states. Although you must implement all skin states, a skin state can be empty. An empty skin state specifies no changes to the default skin state.

Constructor Detail

()

Constructor

public function Menu()

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2.5

Constructor We never use virtual layout, since it's not needed requireSelection is set to false in order to allow checkable items to be checked If you remove requireSelection the checkable items will work, but the menu will close immediately after clicking that item

Method Detail

closeAndFocusParent

()

method

protected function closeAndFocusParent(e:KeyboardEvent):void

From keyboard navigation, when submenu closes and parents need focus

Parameters

e:KeyboardEvent

closeSelectedItemRenderer

()

method

protected function closeSelectedItemRenderer():void

dispatchEvent

()

method

override public function dispatchEvent(e:Event):Boolean

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2.5

We are supposed to dispatch MenuEvent instead of IndexChangeEvent

Parameters

e:Event

Returns

Boolean

item_mouseDownHandler

()

method

override protected function item_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

Overriden to implement checkable behavior. If an item is checkable, we alter data and dispatch the event If not, we just using the super method

Parameters

event:MouseEvent

keyDownHandler

()

method

override protected function keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void

Language Version :

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version :

Flex 4.5

Runtime Versions :

Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2.5

Handle navigation, up and down arrow keys and enter or space selects Escape key, closes menu Doesn't work very very well, probably the focus manager is sometimes too slow for Spark components.

Parameters

e:KeyboardEvent

keyDownInChild

()

method

public function keyDownInChild(e:KeyboardEvent):void

From keyboard navigation, called by a child to pass over focus and close popup on opened item

Parameters

e:KeyboardEvent

()

method

protected function openAndFocusSelectedItemRenderer():void

From keyboard navigation, when we are entitled to open a submenu

openIfNecessary

()

method

public function openIfNecessary():void

From keyboard navigation, we check if it's necessary to open a submenu

updateRenderer

()

method

override public function updateRenderer(renderer:IVisualElement, itemIndex:int, data:Object):void

Sets for every item renderer the instance of this, so we can dispatch events and access properties like labelField

Parameters

	`renderer:IVisualElement`

	`itemIndex:int`

	`data:Object`
