I am building a dynamic menubar right now just from a simple arrayCollection, but I eventually am going to make it create it using XML. Anyways the menubar is custom skinned and everything, and I now have one last issue. On rollover of a menubaritem I need the text color to change from white to gray (#A5A5A5 to be exact). So far I have built a function that will figure out whether or not the mouseevent is rollover or rollout, and I can get the selected index... but I don't know where to go from here.

			private function changeColor(event:MenuEvent):void{
				trace(event.index + " " + event.type);
				
				if(event.type == "itemRollOver"){
					//I just rolled over a link
					menu.getChildAt(event.index);
				}else if(event.type == "itemRollOut"){
					//I just rolled out of a link
					menu.getChildAt(event.index);
				}
			}
		]]>
	</mx:Script>
	
	<mx:MenuBar id="menu" width="1000" height="70" dataProvider="{menu_dp}" click="clickHandler(event)" itemRollOver="changeColor(event)" itemRollOut="changeColor(event)" />

Thanks in advance for all the help.

PS to the moderator: can we have a subforum for Flex posts?
