Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create the following Flex AIR application, which uses FlexNativeMenu with an XML data provider:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" backgroundColor="#ffffff" layout="absolute">
<mx:menu>
<mx:FlexNativeMenu dataProvider="

{myMenuData}

" labelField="@label" showRoot="false" menuShow="handleEvent(event);"/>
</mx:menu>
<mx:XML format="e4x" id="myMenuData">
<root>
<menuitem label="MenuItem A">
<menuitem label="SubMenuItem A-1"/>
<menuitem label="SubMenuItem A-_3">
<menuitem label="Sub-SubMenuItem A-3-1"/>
<menuitem label="Sub-SubMenuItem A-3-2"/>
<menuitem label="Sub-SubMenuItem A-3-3"/>
</menuitem>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="MenuItem B">
<menuitem label="SubMenuItem B-1"/>
<menuitem label="SubMenuItem B-2"/>
</menuitem>
</root>
</mx:XML>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.events.FlexNativeMenuEvent;
private function handleEvent(event:FlexNativeMenuEvent):void

{ trace("label:", event.label); // null trace("item:", event.item); // null trace("index:", event.index); // -1 trace("nativeMenuItem", event.nativeMenuItem); // null }

]]
>
</mx:Script>
</mx:WindowedApplication>

2. Open the application in the debugger
3. Click on a menu item, or (when the menu is open) roll over a menu or submenu – anything to cause a menu to expand

Actual Results: All the properties in trace() statements (event.label, event.item, event.index, event.nativeMenuItem) are null (or -1)

Expected Results: The properties are not null, but instead have appropriate values set (e.g. event.label has the menu item's label, event.item has the underlying item from the data provider, event.nativeMenuItem has a reference to the native menu item, etc.)

Workaround (if any):
None that I've found
