Answer 1

Here is how to change the menubar item background color ..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="left"
        backgroundColor="white"
>
    <mx:Style>
    .menuBarStyle
    backgroundColor : #ff0000;
    </mx:Style>
    <mx:MenuBar menuStyleName="menuBarStyle" id="myMenuBar" labelField="@label">
        <mx:XMLList>
            <menuitem label="MenuItem A">
                <menuitem label="SubMenuItem A-1" enabled="false"/>
                <menuitem label="SubMenuItem A-2"/>
            </menuitem>
            <menuitem label="MenuItem B"/>
            <menuitem label="MenuItem C"/>
            <menuitem label="MenuItem D">
                <menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-1"
                    type="radio" groupName="one"/>
                <menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-2"
                    type="radio" groupName="one"
                    selected="true"/>
                <menuitem label="SubMenuItem D-3"
                    type="radio" groupName="one"/>
            </menuitem>
        </mx:XMLList>
    </mx:MenuBar>
</mx:Application>
I'm not sure about #2.
hope this helps,
