Question

I’m experimenting with Adobe AIR and Google Maps API in Flex Builder. The question is, i’m making a NativeMenu, and was wondering, how can I change the label of the ‘Fullscreen’ item to ‘Exit fullscreen’ when the stage is in fullscreen?

If you see any thing in the code that could/should be written better, please let me know 😉

Here is my code:

in order to change a label into a NativeMenu, you can try this

yourNativeMenu.getItemAt(0).label='new_label'; 

where getItemAt(0) return the first item in the NativeMenu
