Method detail
createMenu()method
public static function createMenu(parent:DisplayObjectContainer, mdp:Object, showRoot:Boolean = true):ZetMenu

Creates and returns an instance of the Menu class. The Menu control's content is determined by the method's mdp argument. The Menu control is placed in the parent container specified by the method's parent argument. This method does not show the Menu control. Instead, this method just creates the Menu control and allows for modifications to be made to the Menu instance before the Menu is shown. To show the Menu, call the Menu.show() method.

Parameters
parent:DisplayObjectContainer — A container that the PopUpManager uses to place the Menu control in. The Menu control may not actually be parented by this object.
 
mdp:Object — The data provider for the Menu control.
 
showRoot:Boolean (default = true) — A Boolean flag that specifies whether to display the root node of the data provider.

Returns
ZetMenu — An instance of the Menu class.

popUpMenu()method 
public static function popUpMenu(menu:ZetMenu, parent:DisplayObjectContainer, mdp:Object):void

Sets the dataProvider of an existing Menu control and places the Menu control in the specified parent container. This method does not show the Menu control; you must use the Menu.show() method to display the Menu control. The Menu.createMenu() method uses this method.

Parameters
menu:ZetMenu — Menu control to popup.
 
parent:DisplayObjectContainer — A container that the PopUpManager uses to place the Menu control in. The Menu control may not actually be parented by this object. If you omit this property, the method sets the Menu control's parent to the application.
 
mdp:Object — dataProvider object set on the popped up Menu. If you omit this property, the method sets the Menu data provider to a new, empty XML object.
show()method 
public override function show(xShow:Object = null, yShow:Object = null):void

Shows the Menu control. If the Menu control is not visible, this method places the Menu in the upper-left corner of the parent application at the given coordinates, resizes the Menu control as needed, and makes the Menu control visible. The x and y arguments of the show() method specify the coordinates of the upper-left corner of the Menu control relative to the parent application, which is not necessarily the direct parent of the Menu control. For example, if the Menu control is in an HBox container which is nested within a Panel container, the x and y coordinates are relative to the Application container, not to the HBox container.

Parameters
xShow:Object (default = null) — Horizontal location of the Menu control's upper-left corner (optional).
 
yShow:Object (default = null) — Vertical location of the Menu control's upper-left corner (optional).
