Bug - My removePopUp Post

Question

I posted about a problem I was having with removePopUp. I had
to fire two separate events (i.e. I had to click my Cancel button
twice) which calls removePopUp to actually get the pop up to go
away. I did some messing around and found what appears to be a bug,
at least to me:
I was originally calling createPopUp in a MenuBar
MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK event handler. I put a createPopUp in the
handler for a button click event and then had another button whose
handler called removePopUp. It worked just fine. I only needed to
click the Cancel button once. So, the MenuBar's
MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK handler appeared to be the problem.
I stepped through my original code and discovered that the
MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK event was actually firing twice. So, I created
a global Boolean to ensure that my createPopUp line is only called
once, on the first event, and sure enough, the problem went away.
I was wondering if two events fired, one for the "File" menu
element and one for the "New Design" menu element. Not so. This
line indicated that it was the same menu element:
trace([email protected]());
So, the apparent bug is that a MenuBar MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK
is firing twice for the same click event. I'm new to ActionScript
and Flex, but nonetheless, that appears to be a problem.
