[actionstep-core] Problem getting menus to work.

[Ron W. <rwh...@ar...>]

This is the start of a view module. I have started trying to set up the 
menus.
It displays the menu on the screen but gives me the traces below when I 
try to select something.
When I select an item it highlights in blue but will not let me select 
any other item and does not call my menuItemSelected function.

Any idea about where I am off track.

Earlier in the code,  get a lot of
NSException(   NSException:   Cannot access bounds movieclip until 
NSView is inserted into view hierarchy.,   null   )
but they do not seem to have an effect on the action that triggers them.
