Problem
I’ve found that NativeMenu.getItemByName doesn’t work (at least not on my system). Unfortunately, the menu item resolves to null and subsequently generates an error.
Solution
A custom function to return a menu item by name.
Detailed explanation
The getMenuItemByLabel function is as follows:
function getMenuItemByLabel(menu:NativeMenu, labelName:String):NativeMenuItem {
var count:uint = menu.items.length;
for(var i:uint=0; i < count; i++){
var item:NativeMenuItem = menu.getItemAt(i);
if(item.label === labelName) return item;
}
return null;
}
Example usage:
var nm:NativeMenu = NativeApplication.nativeApplication.menu;
var nm0:NativeMenuItem = getMenuItemByLabel(nm, 'File');
var mi:NativeMenuItem = new NativeMenuItem("Export...");
mi.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, exportSelected);
nm0.submenu.addItem(mi);
