ScrollableMenuBar

Package | flexlib.controls
Class | public class ScrollableMenuBar
Inheritance | ScrollableMenuBar mx.controls.MenuBar

ScrollableMenuBar is an extension of MenuBar that uses <codeph>flexlib.controls.ScrollableMenu</codeph> instead of using the original <controls>mx.controls.Menu</controls>. This allows us to specify a maxHeight for the ScrollableMenuBar and that maxHeight will be used to determine the maxHeight for all the menus that the component generates. <p>We only had to override the getMenuAt method to make it generate a ScrollableMenu. In order to set the event listeners of the newly created ScrollableMenu, the eventHandler method (which was a private method of MenuBar) was duplicated in this class.</p>

Property Detail

arrowScrollPolicy | property

`arrowScrollPolicy:String`

The policy to show the up and down arrows at the top and bottom of the menu control. <p>Possible values are the same as verticalScrollPolicy and can be ScrollPolicy.AUTO, ScrollPolicy.ON and ScrollPolicy.OFF. ScrollPolicy.ON shouldn't be used since it obstructs the menu items at the top and bottom of the list. Why did I allow it? I don't know.</p>

Implementation
`public function get arrowScrollPolicy():String`
`public function set arrowScrollPolicy(value:String):void`

verticalScrollPolicy | property |

`verticalScrollPolicy:String`

Specifys the vertical scrolling policy for this control.

`override public function getMenuAt(index:int):Menu`
