forgot to add...... this is the code for that section i'm using....

Toolkit.init(); var app = new HaxeUIApp(); app.ready(function() { var main:Component = ComponentMacros.buildComponent("Assets/style/main.xml"); app.addComponent(main); var menuBar = main.findComponent("displayAbout", MenuBar, null, "id" ); menuBar.onMenuSelected = function(e:MenuEvent) { switch (e.menuItem.id) { case "displayAbout": var dialog = new MyDialog(); dialog.onDialogClosed = function(e:DialogEvent) { trace("you clicked: " + e.button); } dialog.show(); } }

if using just .... var menuBar = main.findComponentMacros.buildComponent(MenuBar); ...... it errors with MenuBar being null...... thats the reason i filled in the rest for it. Then it errors on the menuBar.onMenuSelected with that error i posted above.

i get warnings about the lime syntax being deprecated, maybe if I update some of those it will help? i guess one way to find out.

well, warnings about the __js___ being depricated and needing to use the js.Syntax...

nice having those warnings gone. but, still no difference.

what does you main.xml look like?

Its likely you want findComponent to be recursive

it will default to recursive if a) you a looking by id and b) dont set it explicitly not to be recursive, so i think this should work:

if that doesnt work, i would double check there is a MenuBar component in that main.xml that does have an id of "displayAbout"

the end of it

attached displayAbout to the text of menu and have it as the text and id of About.... wanted to try a couple positions to see if it made a difference.

wonder if i should try adding it to css and see if it can find it from there instead of id

thats my main xml

might look rough , havnt spend time to straighten anything

nvm, its not as bad as i was thinking lol

the main.hx file.... just ignore the testerbkup part.

i use it to create the next one to modify stuff and test things to get this working.

the public funtion its under happens to be the latest spot i'm testing it in.

which seems to allow it to load quicker in the browser i noticed.

OK, so

var menuBar = main.findComponent("displayAbout", MenuBar);

is returning null because

displayAbout

is a

Menu

not a

MenuBar

in fact, its both a

Menu

and a

MenuItem

something like this would work (assuming you give your menu bar an ID):

(on in your original xml its just a menu item, not a menu also, the "text='displayAbout'" confused me)

yeah, been trying different things.

that works!!
