914 Menu component (Flash Professional only)
Menu.hide()
Availability
Flash Player 6 (6.0.79.0).
Edition
Flash MX Professional 2004.
Usage
menuInstance.hide()
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; closes a menu.
Example
The following example creates a button and a two-item menu and displays the menu for an
interval of 2000 milliseconds. When the interval expires, the
closeMenu() function calls the
menu.hide() method to close the menu. Clicking the Reset Menu button triggers the
resetMenu() listener, which redisplays the menu and resets the interval.
You first drag a Menu component and a Button component to the library and then add the
following code to Frame 1:
/**
Requires:
- Menu component in library
- Button component in library
*/
import mx.controls.Button;
import mx.controls.Menu;
this.createClassObject(Button, "my_button", 10, {label:"Reset Menu",
_x:100, _y:50});
// Create an XML object to act as a factory.
var my_xml:XML = new XML();
// The item created next does not appear in the menu.
// The createMenu() method call (below) expects to
// receive a root element whose children will become
// the items. This is just a simple way to create that
// root element and give it a convenient name.
