ContextMenu Submenu Issue

I'm having trouble getting the submenu to work on this right-click ContextMenu.

Here is my code:

var ignContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Ignition Status");

var ignSubContext:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu;

var onContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("On");

var offContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Off");

ignSubContext.addItem(onContext);

ignSubContext.addItem(offContext);

ignContext.submenu = ignSubContext;

When I right-click, I see the "Ignition Status" with the little arrow indicating that it has a submenu, but the submenu does not list anything when I mouse-over it or click on it. I used this same method when I created the File drop-down menu with submenus, but it doesn't seem to work correctly here.

Edit:

I should also note that "ignContext" is added to myContextMenu:ContextMenu then I set this.contextMenu = myContextMenu.

and, line 2 should be new ContextMenu();

I fixed those, but it didn't make a difference.

The whole code:

//defined at top level

var myContextMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

var backContext:ContextMenuItem;

var forwardContext:ContextMenuItem

//setup context menu

                                        myContextMenu.removeAllItems();

                                        myContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems();

                                        var contextArray:Array = new Array;

                                        backContext = new ContextMenuItem("Back");

                                        forwardContext = new ContextMenuItem("Forward");

                                        var meterContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Meter");

                                        meterContext.separatorBefore = true;

                                        meterContext.checked = (Utility.METER_ON);

                                        if (Utility.CUR_SYS_REC != 1)

                                        {

                                                  meterContext.enabled = false;

                                        }

                                        var cirOpContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Circuit Operation");

                                        var settingsContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Settings");

                                        var printContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Print");

                                        var engContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Engine Status");

                                        var runningContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Running");

                                        var notRunningContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Not Running");

                                        var engSubContext:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

                                        engSubContext.addItem(runningContext);

                                        engSubContext.addItem(notRunningContext);

                                        engContext.submenu = engSubContext;

                                        var ignContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Ignition Status");

                                        var ignSubContext:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

                                        var onContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("On");

                                        var offContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Off");

                                        ignSubContext.addItem(onContext);

                                        ignSubContext.addItem(offContext);

                                        ignContext.submenu = ignSubContext;

 

                                        var speedContext:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Speed");

                                        speedContext.visible = false;

                                        if (Utility.CUR_SYS_REC != 1)

                                        {

                                                  speedContext.visible = true;

                                        }

 

                                        contextArray.push(backContext,forwardContext,meterContext, cirOpContext, settingsContext, printContext, engContext, ignContext, speedContext);

                                        //add all items

                                        for (var i:int = 0; i < contextArray.length; i ++)

                                        {

                                                  myContextMenu.addItem(contextArray);

                                        }

                                        checkArrows(null);

                                        this.contextMenu = myContextMenu;

 

                                        myContextMenu.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, contextItemSelected);

                                        addEventListener(MouseEvent.RIGHT_MOUSE_UP, rightClicked);
