Comments on: Even Better Scrollable Menus for Flex http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/01/26/even-better-scrollable-menus-for-flex/ A blog about Adobe Flex Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:04:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Mohan http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/01/26/even-better-scrollable-menus-for-flex/comment-page-1/#comment-209177 Mohan Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:58:55 +0000 http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/01/26/even-better-scrollable-menus-for-flex/#comment-209177 Hey Doug, an immensely helpful article. Can't thank you enough :) Just a couple of questions: 1. I'm creating a ScrollableMenu instance and I've set the wordWrap and variableRowHeight properties to true and yet, the labels get cutoff and the rowHeights are set to 20. Is this because I'm setting the width of the scrollable menu instance to a preset value? Should I be using setActualSize method anywhere? 2. I need the menu to retain visibility when menuHide event is thrown. If I were to override the method (and leave the method contents blank), then the submenus overlap over one another. How do I get around this? 3. As Anandarup mentioned above, I need the labels to appear from the extreme left. I've set the textIndent style attribute to 0 but this doesn't seem to be working. What could be the problem? Hey Doug, an immensely helpful article. Can’t thank you enough :)

Comment this line out, it's causing an infinite loop. I only tested briefly but appears to work fine. If anyone else has updates please post.

My client found the same bug. Problem was found in 'openSubMenu' method from Menu.as class. Mail me if you need help to fix that. Addel Anwar wrote:
