You first drag a Menu component to the library and then add the following code to Frame 1:
/**
Requires:
- Menu component in library
*/
import mx.controls.Menu;
// 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
