MenuItem event won't fire

Question

Hi I have the following menu item and the script to go with
it. The itemCick event is not firing.
<menuitem label="Blogs and News" selected="false"
itemClick="itemClick(event);" />
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Menu;
import mx.events.MenuEvent;
// The event listener for the itemClick event.
private function itemClick(event:MenuEvent):void {
currentState="news";
test.text="click";
]]>
</mx:Script>
I don't know what is happening.

Answer 1

menuitem is not a component, is meere xml that menu default
item renderer can read and parse
you need to register your listener with menuBar itself:
<mx:MenuBar itemClick="itemClick(event);" lalala
/>
