Parameters

Returns
A reference to the menu at the specified index. This value is undefined if there is no menu at

Method; returns a reference to the menu at the specified index. Because getMenuAt() returns
a reference, it is possible to add items to a menu at the specified index.

to it. It then uses the reference to add two menu items, New and Open, to the File menu.
Drag an instance of the MenuBar component onto the Stage, and enter the instance name
my_mb in the Property inspector. Add the following code to Frame 1 of the timeline:
/**
Requires:
- MenuBar component on Stage (instance name: my_mb)
*/
var my_mb:mx.controls.MenuBar;
my_mb.addMenu("File");
var my_menu:mx.controls.Menu = my_mb.getMenuAt(0);
my_menu.addMenuItem({label:"New",instanceName:"newInst"});
my_menu.addMenuItem({label:"Open",instanceName:"openInst"});
