Showing wrong subMenu issue is fixed.
Just remove IF condition from openSubMenu method of ScrollableArrowMenu class, i.e //if (!IMenuItemRenderer(row).menu) {

I am using this Scoll menubar, there is a issue, please help to fix.
When we scroll the menu, the sub menu items are disturbed, it shuffles and shows wrong submenu for a selected item.

Found the fix – this component is under FlexLib now… not sure why I didn’t catch that earlier. There is a fix posted to the latest code here
http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/issues/detail?id=84&sort=flexlib&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20FlexLib%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary

It works now after I applied the fix and rebuilt the swc.

Fix:
in ScrollableMenuBar.as in the eventHandler method, remove the line setting
the local var ‘openMenuIndex’. Replace all remaining occurrences of
‘openMenuIndex’ with ‘this.selectedIndex’.

I found the same problem and cant solve it

After you choose a sub menu item > the next time you roll over or click the same menubaritem, it will not open.

Any Ideas?

I am trying to use this component and have a question. When you invoke a menubaritem from the ScrollableMenuBar and select a menuitem from it’s dropdown menu, the next time you roll over or click the same menubaritem, it will not open. You have to roll to another menubaritem first or click on it twice. Using trace I noticed it only happens when getMenuAt overridden in the ScrollableMenuBar.as sees the menus[index] as a null menu and has to create a new one. I noticed that the ScrollableMenu remains in the menus array until you select a menuitem from it, then the next time getMenuAt looks the value is null again and it must create a new ScrollableMenu. I don’t know what the correct behaviour is and it may have nothing to do with the having to click twice.

Can you shed any light on how to get the ScrollableMenuBar to not force the second click to get the menu to drop?

You’ve sure been churning out a lot of components lately!

I’d like to see the scrolling menu work like the Programs section in the Windows Start menu with arrows appearing at the top and bottom that react on mouseover rather than a scrollbar.
