Using styles with the Menu component

You can call the setStyle() method to change the style of the menu, its items, and its submenus.The Menu component supports the following styles:

Style	n	Description
`themeColor`	Halo	The base color scheme of a component. Possible values are `"haloGreen"`, `"haloBlue"`, and `"haloOrange"`. The default value is `"haloGreen"`.
`alternatingRowColors`	Both	Specifies colors for rows in an alternating pattern. The value can be an array of two or more colors, for example, 0xFF00FF, 0xCC6699, and 0x996699. Unlike single-value color styles, `alternatingRowColors` does not accept color names; the values must be numeric color codes. By default, this style is not set, and `backgroundColor` is used in its place for all rows.
`backgroundColor`	Both	The background color of the menu. The default color is white and is defined on the class style declaration. This style is ignored if `alternatingRowColors` is specified.
`backgroundDisabledColor`	Both	The background color when the component's `enabled` property is set to "`false"`. The default value is 0xDDDDDD (medium gray).
`borderStyle`	Both	The Menu component uses a RectBorder instance as its border and responds to the styles defined on that class. See RectBorder class. The default border style is `"menuBorder"`.
`color`	Both	The text color.
`disabledColor`	Both	The color for text when the component is disabled. The default color is 0x848384 (dark gray).
`embedFonts`	Both	A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in `fontFamily` is an embedded font. This style must be set to `true` if `fontFamily` refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to `true` and `fontFamily` does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is `false`.
`fontFamily`	Both	The font name for text. The default value is `"_sans"`.
`fontSize`	Both	The point size for the font. The default value is 10.
`fontStyle`	Both	The font style: either `"normal"` or `"italic"`. The default value is `"normal"`.
`fontWeight`	Both	The font weight: either `"none"` or `"bold"`. The default value is `"none"`. All components can also accept the value `"normal"` in place of `"none"` during a `setStyle()` call, but subsequent calls to `getStyle()` return `"none"`.
`textAlign`	Both	The text alignment: either `"left"`, `"right"`, or `"center"`. The default value is `"left"`.
`textDecoration`	Both	The text decoration: either `"none"` or `"underline"`. The default value is `"none"`.
`textIndent`	Both	A number indicating the text indent. The default value is 0.
`defaultIcon`	Both	The name of the default icon to display on each row. The default value is `undefined`, which means no icon is displayed. The icon property is not required, does not work for "check", "radio", or "separator" items, and uses the linkage identifier of an image asset as the value parameter. All menu items show the same icon.
`popupDuration`	Both	The duration of the transition as a menu opens. The value is specified in milliseconds; 0 indicates no transition. The default value is 150.
`rollOverColor`	Both	The background color of a rolled-over row. The default value is 0xE3FFD6 (bright green) with the Halo theme and 0xAAAAAA (light gray) with the Sample theme. When `themeColor` is changed through a setStyle() call, the framework sets `rollOverColor` to a value related to the `themeColor` chosen.
`selectionColor`	Both	The background color of a selected row. The default value is a 0xCDFFC1 (light green) with the Halo theme and 0xEEEEEE (very light gray) with the Sample theme. When `themeColor` is changed through a setStyle() call, the framework sets `selectionColor` to a value related to the `themeColor` chosen.
`selectionDuration`	Both	The length of the transition from a normal to selected state, in milliseconds. The default value is 200.
`selectionEasing`	Both	A reference to the easing equation used to control the transition between selection states. The default equation uses a sine in/out formula. For more information, see Customizing component animations in Using ActionScript 2.0 Components.
`textRollOverColor`	Both	The color of text when the pointer rolls over. The default value is 0x2B333C (dark gray). This style is important when you set `rollOverColor`, because the two settings must complement each other so that text is easily viewable during rollover.
`textSelectedColor`	Both	The color of text in the selected row. The default value is 0x005F33 (dark gray). This style is important when you set `selectionColor`, because the two must complement each other so that text is easily viewable while selected.
`useRollOver`	Both	Determines whether rolling over a row activates highlighting. The default value is true.
