I am looking at making submenus that create small checkmarks beside a submenu after you've selected them

much like in flash under the Window menu when you select Library there is a checkmark beside it...

is there a way i can do this using the addMenuItem() command, or do I have to take a slightly different approach...

Thanks
 
myMenu.addMenuItem({label: "Friday", type: "check"});

just add them all as type check

 
I was also wanting to know if there is a way in which I can make it so that I can only select one item in a menu when it is chosen.

When one item is selected and then another is selected afterwards, I would like the first item to no longer be selected.

Do I have to make the menubar using the XML method to do this?
 
by default checkboxes always allow for multiple selections

i suppose you could add a loop to your change function and step through all menuitems unchecking those already checked

personally i think you will be best to go with a radio button which by default can have one one selection for each radiogroup

myMenu.addMenuItem({label: "Friday", type: "radio",groupName:"radioGroup"});
myMenu.addMenuItem({label: "Saturday", type: "radio",groupName:"radioGroup"});

can be done either with actionscript as above or with xml. xml is much better if the menu will be much edited in the future
