Handlers can’t handle handlers

For a PopUpButton, I need to throw an event. Unfortunately, if you dispatch an event directly in the itemClickHandler, the menu is frozen on the screen. I couldn’t find a way to scroll the menu up anymore. So I made up the hack bellow: Basically, I defer the dispatch of the event to the calllater method of the UIComponent.

	...

	popUpButton.popUp = createMenu(pageLeaf.*)

}

private function createMenu( menuXML : XMLList ) : Menu

{

	var currentMenu : Menu = new Menu()

	currentMenu.dataProvider = menuXML

	currentMenu.labelField = "@label"

	currentMenu.addEventListener(MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK, itemClickHandler )

	return currentMenu

}

private function itemClickHandler(e:MenuEvent) : void

{

	var event :  PageEvent = new PageEvent(PageVO.GET, e.item.@pagenumber)

	this.callLater(dispatchCairngormEvent, [event])
}

private function dispatchCairngormEvent(event: PageEvent): void

{

	event.dispatch()

}

I’m thankful for any comments, improvements, explanations, etc…
