Notes:
======

Menu xtra is a simple (28 KB) scripting xtra that allows to define and show
popup-menus which can be arbitrarily nested (i.e. have sub-menus).

Each xtra instance represents a single (nested) popup-menu, so if you need
multiple different menus, create multiple xtra instances.

Function 'addSubMenu' allows to add a submenu either to the main or some
already existing sub-menu, which allows arbitrarily nested menus.

A popup-menu menu can be opened programmatically at arbitrary places on the
screen, by calling 'show' (e.g. in some rightMouseDown event handler) and passing
the location as point. If the user selects a menu item, its itemID is returned.

Here some sample code showing how a popup-menu can be displayed at the point of
the stage window were the user (right-)clicked via mouse:

global gMenu

on rightMouseDown
  p = _mouse.mouseLoc

  -- calculate absolute coordinates on screen
  sr = _movie.stage.rect
  mr = _system.desktopRectList[1]
  p = point(sr[1]+p[1], sr[2]+p[2])
  
  itemID = gMenu.show(p)
  put "item with ID"&&itemID&&"was selected"
end
