A FlexNativeMenu component is a Flex wrapper for the NativeMenu class. The FlexNativeMenu allows you to use MXML and a data provider to define the structure of a menu. The FlexNativeMenu component does not have any visual representation that's rendered by Flex. Instead, a FlexNativeMenu instance defines a native operating system menu such as an application menu (OS X), a window menu (Windows), a context menu, or any other native menu that can be created in AIR. For a complete list of the ways a native menu can be used in AIR, see AIR menu basics.

The FlexNativeMenu component is designed to be like the Flex Menu and MenuBar components. Developers who have worked with those components should find the FlexNativeMenu familiar.

For more information on the FlexNativeMenu control, see the Flex 3 Language Reference.
