Tripp,
Thanks for looking into this.

It's very strange that you can't reproduce this - I first had it with
version 1.12 and have just installed version 1.2 and its just the same.

Here's the complete code for my test example. I've simply typed it
into the first frame on the timeline and the "orange" only goes greyed
out when you move your mouse from the menuBar to the menu itself (ie
over red, orange yellow etc). I'm testing in the Flash IDE (CS3).

import com.yahoo.astra.fl.controls.MenuBar;
import com.yahoo.astra.fl.events.MenuEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

//create an xml object
var menus:XML =
<menus>
<menu label="colors">
<menuitem label="red"/>
<menuitem label="orange" enabled="false"/>
<menuitem label="yellow" />
<menuitem label="green" />
<menuitem label="blue" />
<menuitem label="purple" />
</menu>
<menu label="cars">
<menuitem label="american">
<menuitem label="cadillac" />
<menuitem label="buick" />
<menuitem label="pontiac" />
<menuitem label="chevrolet" />
<menuitem label="ford" />
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="japanese">
<menuitem label="toyota" />
<menuitem label="honda" />
<menuitem label="nissan" />
</menuitem>
</menu>
<menu label="apples">
<menuitem label="gala" />
<menuitem label="granny smith" />
<menuitem label="fuji" />
</menu>
</menus>

var menuBar = new MenuBar(this);
menuBar.dataProvider = menus;

Cheers

Joe
