Native Menu Style

Is there a way to control the style applied to the Native Menus in ActionScript 3?

The whole point to nativeMenus in Air is, that your app can adapt to the users systems settings, be it Mac or PC. To Answer your question: No, there is no way.

How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

I've noticed in AIR 2.7 for Android, that now the bottom icons in Android 3.0 Honeycomb are hidden (replaced by small dots) in AIR 2.7, whereas in AIR 2.6 they were always visible. That's cool. Since the bottom bar can never be hidden in Android 3, at least now those icons are less visible (unless you intentionally touch the bottom bar, then the icons show up for a few seconds).
BUT I also noticed in AIR 2.7 compiled apps, the native "Menu" icon is not visible anymore, even after touching the bottom bar. In AIR 2.6 you could see and press that button (which can be captured from AIR so you can show a custom settings menu or whatever).
So, quoting the subject --> How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

There is a work around and a reason for the menu issue. Honeycomb doesn't natively support a menu softkey, it is only to support old apps comiled in phone API levels. If you compile a Honeycomb app in 2.7 or 3.0, it is expected you manage the settings within the larger tablet UI framework. See below link for more info and work around.

Why does the stage layout change when native menu added

I have a program that was fine till I added a native menu to it. After adding the menu I have a space on both the left and the right of the stage. If I draw a shape at x=0, y=0 it appears about 40 pixels to the right of the window border. If I remove the menu the space still occurs what is going on?

Adding the menu shrinks the effective size of the stage. This happens because in the app descriptor, you set the outer size of the window, not the stage size. When you add a menu, the space for the menu is created by removing space from the stage, not by increasing the height of the window.
You see the bars around the app because you have the stage scalemode set to something other than noScale.(noScale is NOT the default.) The other scale modes attempt to keep most or all of the app in view when the app is not the same size as the stage (which happens when you add a menu to a window). The space around the edge is the result of the runtime scaling your content into the available space When you remove the menu, this space should be returned to the stage -- and does in my tests, so I can't explain why you don't see the scaling go away. Perhaps you are drawing your content based on the reduced stage size so you still have extra space after the menu is removed.
The stage align property determines how the content is positioned on the stage when it is scaled down. The default is center which distributes space to either side when the stage is scaled horizontally, which is why the origin effectively moves away from the left side of the window. If you used the an AlignMode of top left, the origin would stay in the top left corner.
In general, I recommend setting the stage scaleMode to noScale in an application, unless you have a specific need for one of the other scale modes. Even then, you can still scale things programmtically using logic appropriate to the situation. The other modes were designed for use in a browser where the SWF author may not have control of the stage and so must choose the least-bad compromise. In an AIR app, you have control and so don't need to make that compromise.

AIR 3.0 bug with native menu?

Hi
I'm working on HTML/JS AIR application.
App loads native menu from XML, which is accessed from application using nativeWindow.menu. It worked OK in 2.7 and earlier, but recently AIR runtime was updated to 3.0 version and now nativeWindow.menu==null all the time (Mac OS). Could you take a look at this problem please?
BTW, I've another problem with menu on Mac OS (... but no such problem in OS Windws). Menu I created, which is loaded from XML, contains "File" and "Edit" items, but Mac OS creates another "File" and "Edit" items in menu, so Application has 2 duplicated items in menu with different content - first one contains default OS items, but the second - items I'm adding from XML. Could you tell me how can I fix this please? Did I mii something?
Thanks in advance

Sorry guys, this wasn't a bug in AIR.
It's just necessary to check whether menu is supported by nativeWindow or nativeApplication, instead of trying to access menu from nativeWindow all the time.
For OS windows - nativeWindow, but for Mac - nativeApplication.

           the native menu means in ur application menu or flex system menu?

Can we change the background color of a native menu?

Is it possible? In Windows, the native menu background is
always gray which may not fit the color theme of the
application.

No, this is not currently supported for native menus. (And it
isn't always gray -- it is the color set by the user for their
desktop).
If you are using Flex, the MenuBar component can be styled.
To get stylable menu bars for Flash and HTML, you would have to
work something up from scratch or use someone else's component.

Changing hover menu style

Hi there,
I found out, that iViews based on different layout sets show the hover menu in different ways - once with small up/down buttons and once without arrows and less space between the rows. Where can I configure which hover menu style is to be used in a specific layout set and where can I configure the styles themselves?
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
To create a menu or to modify the configuration of an existing menu based on a Java class, choose <b>Content Management --> User Interface --> Menus</b>.

Menu style - JLF

hey all,
Was wondering whether anyone could tell me how to incorporate one of the new(ish) Windows file menu styles into my program. I wanted to have file menus that looked like the ones that shipped with Office 2002/2003 i think. Where the menu is white and once the cursor hovers over an item it turns a pale shade of blue.
I'd be really greatful for any help.
Thanks
Damo.

you could add a mouse listener and change the color...
menu.setForeground(Color.white);
menu.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
   public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me) {
       ((Component)me.getSource()).setForeground(Color.blue.brighter());
   public void mouseExited(MouseEvent me) {
       ((Component)me.getSource()).setForeground(Color.white);
});

E72 menu style

i'm using an e72 with firmware update to 053.001 and i feel jealous when i saw a video of an e72 and the menu mode is slightly different than mine
see if u highlight an icon in the menu it just tends to move in the phone original theme (like in flash palyer or something) but mine doesn't why ??? so i searched for all reviews for e72 they are the same except mine.... may be the new firmware doesn't support that menu style
i know it's not a big deal but i feel jealous....

Horizontal spry menu style appears turned off when on the internet though can view it in live mode!?

The style of the horizontal spry menu seems as to have been turned off when on the web though is visible and functioning on CS4 Dreamweaver design and live views. I have styled the spry menu and can view it in the properties section though the style setting is there on the internet it looks as if the styles have turned off and appears unformatted vertically when it should be a cascading horizontal menu bar. Not sure where the error is, I have looked at the coding and as I'm not the most experienced with spry.....
this is the coding above the head.
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript">
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</script>
I have noticed that SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css doesn't appear in the spry assets folder, does this matter? (not sure how to insert into the assets menu). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for testing it. I'm not sure how to proceed though as the css file is in my local_sites/spry assets folder for the website. I've tried to point it to other (copies of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css) and spry assets folder externally from the site and again internally in the root folder and seems to make little or no difference.
Your suggestion of what it should read,(sorry to sound so naive at all this) though would you mind giving a step-by-step guide on how to go about it? as I'm obviously missing something in the setup process.
thanks again for your help.

Native menu bar OS X

Currently out AIR app has its own menu bar component, but I
would like to make the menu bar the native OS menu bar. Is there a
particular set of methods and components I need to use/that are
supported for this purpose? Right now the menu bar has "adl"
instead of the name of our application as the first menu item next
to the apple menu.
thanks in advance.
jed

See
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/FlexNativeMenu.html
adl is the name of the menu because the adl utility is
running your AIR app. When you install and run, the menu will show
the name of your application.

Add custom menu styles to the Pop-up Menu Editor

I have tried using the instructions that Adobe gives me to do this but it doesn't work. They tell me to save a style library in the "Menu Bars" folder. I searched my computer and I only have one Menu Bars folder. The path is Adobe Fireworks CS5/Configuration/Common Library/Menu Bars. All of the files in there are .png not .stl. files.
I want to have a custom parchment background for my pop-up menu. Has anyone done this and can you please tell me how to do it on a Mac.
Thanks,

Frankly, I wouldn't waste my time. The pop up menus in FW are old code and a real mess to deal with once the menu has been exported. There are far better resources out there, from the Spry menus in DW, to commerical products from Project Seven.

Seperate spry tabbed menu styles

I am trying to style two tabbed menus differently (one
is inside of the other one... and am having problems) I have been reading previous posts but can't quite seem to figure it out.
1)I created the first tabbed menu and modified the styles and saved the .css as mainpanel.css
2) created the second menu and changed the code to "label2" for each segment of the code and saved the stylesheet as secondlabel.css
everything works fine EXCEPT THE SELECTED TAB...I can't seem to be able to modify the style of the selected tab in the second tabbed menu ..
is this because it is lying within the content of the first tabbed menu??
thanks in advance
tell me WHATS GOOD!

so to change the style on the css
you have to add the new name at the beginning of each of the different styles present in the sprymenu.css
.newstyle .Tab {}
.newstyle .TabSelected {}
I was trying to modify them each: (ex: .newstyleTab {}, .newstyleTabSelected{} - which was no successful
that's whats good
