AS3 version

posted by kilik212 on 2009-01-26

Hi,

I'm trying to get the id of the items in my AS3 version of the menu, so i can call and item.click on a particular menu. But when i trace out the item, it just says [object JAccordianTreeMenuChild]. I've tried using toString() on this, but give me the same thing. how can I obtain the item Id?

thank you.

Hello

To find out on which level is found the selected item, you must use this code, which is actually similar to that used in the AS2 example except "addEventListener".
import com.jumpeye.Events.AccordionMenuEvents;
accTreeMenu.addEventListener(AccordionMenuEvents.ITEM_RELEASE, releaseHdl);
function releaseHdl (evt: AccordionMenuEvents):void{
var itemIndex:String = String(evt.item.treeId);
trace (evt.item.treeId)
var idArray:Array = itemIndex.split(".");
var noOfStrings:Number = idArray.length;
trace(idArray.length);
switch(noOfStrings) {
case 1: descr.text = "First level item - " + itemIndex; break;
case 2: descr.text = "Second item - " + itemIndex; break;
case 3: descr.text = "Third item - " + itemIndex; break;
trace(noOfStrings)
}
}
